I've just read an article on a little girl who is so inspiring I feel I need to share.
Annie Clark, age 7, from Pittsburgh has recently been awarded with the Nicholas Maxim Special Award for Excellent Penmanship. In todays technology obsessed world where handwriting is a dying art this achievement is special enough but what makes Annie extra special is that she was born without any hands!
She's developed her own method to allow her to write though by holding a pencil between her forearms. Not only does she have beautiful clear writing but she is able to keep up others in her class & often even helps teach those who are struggling.
Annie can also use glue & scissors, dress & feed herself, swim & ride a bike.
From the rest of the article Annie sounds like a lovely little girl with an amazing spirit & I've no doubt she will grow up to be a source of inspiration for many :)
