Disability


I like all videos, but the video that I like most is “Man with No Arms and Legs”. Nick has proved to me that life is easy, and nothing is impossible with determination and persistence.
When I think I cannot achieve what I want and start to give up, I remember Nick's story and say to myself, “Yes, I can because he never gave up”.
