Assignment #4

Kyle Maynard was born with no arms past the elbows and no legs past the knees. Many people would've let this birth defect define them for the entire lives, but kyle accepted the challenge that he was born with and took it head on. He didn't let his defects slow him down in life, he embraced instead. Kyle did an almost impossible feat, he climbed mount kilimanjaro with no assistance. To climb such a mountain is a challenge many can't complete with even with all of their limbs. Kyle managed to inspire me and many others with his incredible story.
He taught us that when life throws you a curveball you can let it control your life, or you can get back up at the plate (figuratively speaking).  His story taught us to never give up on anything just because something or someone is in your way. You need to power through your obstacle so you can continue on with your life. His obstacle was born with no limbs, and his goal was to change the way people view their life. He did this by climbing the tallest mountain in Africa. His message is that you can do anything you put your mind to. He has encouraged thousands of people to do what they love in life no matter what is holding you back; Always go after your dream.
