She went to the hospital with injuries to her foot, but her family said she remained calm the whole time while talking about her effort to fight off the shark.
“Something grabbed me, so I’m like, ‘Don’t you touch me,’” she said. “It looked pretty big. It was gray. It hurt, so I’m like, kick it. Run away.”
Doctors said the girl should make a full recovery in two months.
