Young girl lives with no arms, no fear.flv

This video is about a girl named Ira. Ira was adopted by her parents and she was born with no arms. Im not sure of teh disability or if thre is one that its called but I just reallly loved this video because it connecteed to SWCAMP again with the Able-Bodiness part of it. I also chose this video because if you watched my last video post about Abigail thes etwo videos share a commonality. The commonality is that both Ira and Abigail share the trait of loving to swim and they also share the same challenge in a way. Abigail does nt have feeling in her legs. She has her legs yes but she use them completely the way you and I can. And ira doesnt have arms.   So she two cadoesnt have feeling in that part of her body. However These two girls still managed to have smiles on their faces and feel passionated about swimming. They both have friends and family who love and support and laugh with them . Ira was truly phenomenal to watch. If you watch this video i highly encouraged and suggest that you watch till the end. To see what Ira has had to learn how to do and the fact that she does it like its completely normal and easy for her to do iks just outrageous. You wouldnt think or atleast i didnt think that someone could do things that Ira does like brush her teeth eat and WRITE . Shwe does all of this with her feet ! During the whole video my mouth was just dropped wide open. I was shaking my head in amazement. I dont know why but i just REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LOVE watching these kinds of videos ; ones of children who have various challenges in life but still consistently have a smile on their face. I watch these videos when im down or im aggravated with my own challenge and then these videos Ira's and Abigail's put a smile back on my face and it makes me feel better. I realize that yes, Spina Bifida may get me aggravated and annoyed sometimes , But i also realize it could also be alot worse. I feel grateful that i can do all i can do today. Living with Spina Bifida is also a BIG part of the reason why im pushing to study and educate myself in the education and special ed major. I feel a connection to these kids. You don't need to have the EXACT same challenge that they do to know what they feel at times. & even though Ira and Abigail have more of a serious challenge than i do , I still feel relatable, and connected to them. I still feel like we have something in common.
