More about Diversity Saturday - "Courage and Passion"

I have Always been in awe when I see people with prosthesis's, especially in paralympics.
They seem to have overcome their handicap with great courage and resilience, and I sense a Strength in them that perhaps "normal" people do not have.
This is truly amazing also in the field of technology, because prosthesis's are continually evolving.

Meet for instance : Aimee Mullin. A brave, strong, inspirational woman. She's a paralympian athlete, actress, and model, not to mention that she's beautiful. She was born with a birth defect called Fibular Hemimelia. This basically means that she was born with no fibula bone in either of her legs. After having both of her legs amputated below the knee on her first birthday, Aimee was able to learn to walk with prosthetic legs by the time she was two, and spent her childhood doing the usual athletic activities of her peers: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside “able-bodied” kids.

People magazine named her one of their “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” and recently she was named the new Global Brand Ambassador for L'Oreal.

Makes you think twice when you're having a bad day ~~
