Life is a Challenge - a story of Aimee Mullins




Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they're supposed to help you discover who you are.


Meet Aimee Mullins who lost both of her legs when she was only one years old .Despite her physical limitations, she pushed herself physically and mentally to succeed.she was born with fibular hemimelia (missing fibula bones) and, as a result, had both of her legs amputated below the knee when she was a year old. She is a graduate of Parkland High School in Allentown and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.



While attending Georgetown University, she competed against able-bodied athletes in NCAA Division I track and field events. She competed in the Paralympics in 1996 in Atlanta, in which she ran the 100-meter dash in 17.01 seconds and jumped 3.14 meters in the long-jump.



In 1999, she modeled for British fashion designer Alexander McQueen in his London show, on a pair of hand-carved wooden prosthetic legs made from solid ash, with integral boots.



She is able to change her height between 5 ft 8in and 6 ft 1in by changing her legs.



She has been named one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by People.



She rightly said Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.




Also while at Georgetown, Mullins won a place on the Foreign Affairs internship program, working at The Pentagon. She also makes appearances as a motivational speaker.


So never think you have inability of something, try to recognize your inner strength, I know you can make you weakness or inability your strength.
