I was born with severe bilateral clubfoot and other physical issues including deformities to my knees and jaw. I spent a childhood bullied for the appearance of my legs. Older kids threatened to break my skinny legs, and even adults made negative comments.

I have a lifetime of medical treatments and live in constant uncertainty. My entire life I've been told I can't. Yet I do. And through all this adversity, I am happy. You too can adapt and thrive despite the adversity you face.
