In the Saturday Winston-Salem Journal, reporter John Dell told the story of Amelia Baskin, a first-grader at Clemmons Elementary. Although Amelia was born without a right arm, she hasn't let that stop her from doing whatever she wants to do.
"She's never been afraid to try anything, and no matter the situation she's put in, she finds a way," her mother, Jeanine Baskin, told Dell..
Amelia plays the piano and studies karate. She is also an accomplished swimmer and plays Winston-Salem Optimist League soccer.
"I really like soccer because it's a fun way to fun around," Amelia said.
Journal photographer Bruce Chapman took the photos of Amelia in action. For the full story go to http://www2.journalnow.com/news/2012/may/05/4/7-year-old-with-one-arm-ignores-obstacles-masters--ar-2245681/
