I have a grandson who was born with stubs for arms. He never wanted any attached devices to make life easier. He taught himself how to survive without help. He plays soccer, basketball, runs cross country track, acts, sings, dances, reads, writes, and is proficient in video and computer games. He is super intelligent, stubborn, thoughtful, kind, and determined to accomplish goals that others do not attempt. One of my earliest comical memories is him laying in front of the tv with the remote, tuning in with his toes. He has taught himself how to use utensils with his chin and shoulder. He has the best penmanship of his seven brothers and sisters. I have included a video of him that was published on YouTube. I am so proud of him. To me, he is the definition of determination.

I loved this definition. I will never forget watching your grandson tune th TV with his toes. Absolutely amazing because many adults with all body parts working can’t manage a remote control. I suppose that is mostly due to the mental faculty.
