Studying for my Motor Development test, I came across this name "Oscar Pistorius" for the first time. Curious and amazed about how a disabled runner can break world records in Olympics, I went to search up for more info on him. What I read simply took my breath away! http://hubpages.com/hub/Oscar-Pistorius-turning-disability-into-ability
Be warned..this second link will reduce you to tears!

What really strikes me is not his ABILITY to run but HIS SPIRIT! He does NOT allow his disability to stop him from experiencing the most in life. And what his mother wrote : “A loser is not the one who runs last in the race, but the one who sits and watches and has never tried to run.” is going to be my new motto in life. No wonder he's so amazing, he's got an amazing mother!!
