Profile A: Carter is a 103-pounder whose legs at his hips, his right arm just after his elbow, and his left arm even shorter. He had the rest taken from him at age 5 because of a blood infection that required extensive amputations. His life is not easy, but he is just fine, particularly on the wrestling mat.
Profile B: Jessica is recognized internationally as an inspirational keynote speaker. Born without arms, Jessica now lives airplanes, cars, and otherwise a normal life using her feet as others use their hands. She holds the title of the first person without arms in the American Taekwondo 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.
