Through everything, it has always been important for Stokke not to see herself as the victim. Instead, she adopts a wonderful can-doĀ attitude that has aided her in all her ventures, from pole vaulting to modeling. While the photos from New York shook her mentally, she always managed to persevere.
These days, Stokke’s not happy what happened happened, but she can at least see the silver lining.
