Beautiful story! 27 years I’ve lived with erbs palsy and I was a competitive figure skater , had to try out for cheerleading in a bigger school and made it all 4 years of high school, dancer, volleyball, track , and golf and never forgot about my arm and was always self conscious about how I looked but learned I was just as good as everyone else I just had to do it a different way. We need more stories like these of people who are different but decide to not let it slow Them down. It’s a life long thing and you’ll never get over the feeling of being different but it’s how you learn to accept it that’ll really set you free from the feeling of isolation. Acceptance and perseverance is key and he at a young has found thst and that’s beautiful.
