Athlete Aimee Mullins
“Born without fibulae in both legs, Aimee’s medical prognosis was discouraging; she was told she would never walk, and would likely spend the rest of her life using a wheelchair. In an attempt for an outside chance at independent mobility, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee on her first birthday. The decision paid off. By age two, she had learned to walk on prosthetic legs, and spent her childhood doing the usual athletic activities of her peers: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside “able-bodies” kids.”

Yeah, makes me feel guilty for all my pissing and moaning here recently….
she once again proved human’s ability of mind and being positive.
I have spenend lots of years at different universities both in Iran and U.S.A.
I would say I was a good and intelligent students according to my scholars.
But what I learned mainly is that you could do whatever that comes to your
mind . I’m not talking about super heroes but normal people like myself.
We could do everything. We are humans and I’m proud to be a human.
