Such a heartwarming story!
7 year old Pennsylvanian 1st grader Annie Clark who has no hands and writes by wedging a pencil between her two arms, has won a penmanship contest – earning a trophy and $1,000 to boot.
The contest organized by Zaner – Bloser Inc recognizes disabled students who have exceptional handwriting skills.
Her proud dad told reporters:
“Annie has always been very, very determined, very self-sufficient in dressing herself and feeding herself. She can ride a bike and she swims. She is just determined that there’s nothing she can’t do.”
Born to a family of nine children, Annie is a sister to five other siblings adopted from China. Most of Annie’s siblings – including children born biologically to her parents – also have disabilities
