“A first-grader who was born without hands has won a national penmanship award”, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
“Annie Clark, a 7-year-old at Wilson Christian Academy in West Mifflin, Pa., got a trophy and $1,000 as one of two national winners of the Nicholas Maxim Special Award for Excellent Penmanship from the Zaner-Bloser language arts and reading company.”
The article also mentioned that she learned of the natonal award for children with disabilities by winning an award for penmanship beating all of the students at her school–to me that is an extra-amazing feat.
She grasps the pencil between her arms to create her beautiful work, and has warmed the hearts of many with her super-abilities in the face of daunting challenges.
