Wendy Stocker attended a Midwest high school and, in her final year, finished just 3.5 points behind first place in girls' diving. She went to an East Coast college, where she took a full load of classes, was on the bowling team, participated in student government and continued her diving. But what I find most spectacular about this young lady is her typing skill. As a college freshman she typed like the creator of the keypad, sort of-40 words per minutes.
Did I forget to mention that Wendy Stocker was born without fingers nor arms?
If not known by anyone else, every individual is aware of his/her own disability or disabilities. It might be simple a matter, but we all possess one.
She types 40 words per minute with her toes. And she was so blind to her disability, and unashamed so much so that she was involved in school politics and public affairs.
Here is my advice for you: Don't let anyone talk you out off your purpose because of your disabilities, and don't hold yourself back either. Our Glory is not in never having disabilities but in rising above them.
