Woman Without Arms Flies an Airplane With Her Feet

Born without arms, Jessica now flies airplanes, drives cars, and otherwise lives a normal life using her feet as others use their hands.

This a true story of Jessica Cox, 25, and a motivational speaker from Arizona. 

According to her web site biography, "Jessica is recognized internationally as an inspirational keynote speaker. Born without arms, Jessica now flies airplanes, drives cars, and otherwise lives a normal life using her feet as others use their hands. She holds the title of the first person without arms in the American Tae Kwon-Do Association to get a black belt and the first woman pilot in aviation history to fly with her feet. Convinced that the way we think has a greater impact on our lives than our physical constraints, she chose to pursue a degree in psychology while in college at the University of Arizona." 

Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices.    

So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I can't possibly..." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.
