During a family vacation in Mexico, a 12-year-old boy named Charlie Buhl was attacked by a 10- to 13-foot crocodile. His family rushed him to the hospital and they had to extend their stay as he needed to undergo several medical procedures in a Cancún hospital. The resort at which Charlie got attacked, Club Med, covered all medical expenses and extended their apologies to the family by providing continuous assistance. The spokesperson for Club Med also expressed their plan to prevent additional attacks: to install warning signs, lights, and taller fencing.
Now, Charlie is still in the recovery process. He can walk and run with a limp, and kick a soccer ball, but is yet to play in a soccer game. This traumatic incident, however, did not hinder Charlie from using his wit. Through his humor and creativity, he was able to make the quote, "Turn your obstacles into opportunities" true to life. For this year's Halloween, Charlie, together with his friends, decided to dress as a crocodile.
