When Jason’s parents saw him for the first time, they were very surprised. This lovely little baby was born disabled. But soon the young couple accepted this fact. Jason’s arms are just half without hands and his legs aren’t fully grown either.
At the age of six, he told his mother he wanted to get down from the prosthetics (假肢) and play with other kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them. He now has an electric wheelchair, but he never uses it at home or when it is easy for him to move using only his body.
Jason learnt handwriting and colouring at school, holding the pen between the ends of his arms. He also learnt to eat with forks at home. When he was ten, he fell in love with football. He never had a pair of shoes because of the shape of his feet. He only wore socks on the football field. He never won a match, but he refused to give up. His strong arms and body, as well as some fantastic skills made him a respected player on the school team. He went to a famous university after high school.
Now Jason still faces many
hardships in life, but he will make you believe that you can do what he has done. “Never be afraid of any difficulty,” Jason often encourages others in his speeches.
