Now a 20-year-old junior at Brigham Young University majoring in music performance, Smart speaks of her good fortune and luck to be where she is today.

"I feel so fortunate that I was able to come through this unscarred. I want to tell other people, 'Don't give up. Miracles do happen,' " she said.
