The woman doesn't have a lot of stamina, but she is determined, her mother tells a newspaper.
A Penn State University cheerleader who was seriously injured in a fall from a fifth-floor apartment window last year is returning to school next semester.
Paige Raque fell 39 feet on Oct. 13 from an apartment window during an off-campus party, breaking her pelvis and suffering brain trauma. The Centre Daily Times reports her mother, Robyn Raque, says her daughter is ready to return to Penn State in the fall.
Robyn Raque says her daughter can't walk very far and doesn't have a lot of stamina. But she says she's doing well cognitively and that she's determined.
Seven students have taken plea deals for their roles in supplying alcohol at the party where Raque was hurt. Raque, who is from Louisville, Ky., was 19 at the time of the accident.
Witnesses told police Raque appeared to be visibly intoxicated the night of the party and was dancing on a table when she lost her balance and fell out the window, according to The Centre Daily Times. Raque was under 21 at the time, but police said she would not be charged.
