"You can't always control what's happening to you, but you can control how you react to it. That was the biggest lesson I learned." — Ken Kunken
On Halloween 1970, twenty-year-old Cornell engineering student Ken Kunken tackled a ball carrier during a football kickoff and broke his neck. The rehabilitation pamphlet his family was handed listed one possible future for someone with his injury: selling magazine subscriptions by telephone. Ken couldn't dial a rotary phone.
What happened next took five decades, three Ivy League degrees, a passed bar exam, a courtroom with doors too narrow for his wheelchair, and more than 200 mailed-out resumes before a single employer said yes. Ken Kunken became the world's first quadriplegic lawyer — and eventually a Deputy Bureau Chief supervising 25 assistant district attorneys — not because adversity left him alone, but because he learned something essential: you can't control what happens to you, only how you respond.
His story is a reminder that the people who help us matter as much as the determination we bring ourselves — and that one person willing to give you a chance can change everything.
Ken's book, I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story, is available in hardcover, ebook, and as an audiobook narrated by Ken himself.
