Handwriting is Fun and Special

I read a news today about this special girl! Her name is Annie Clark and she is a 7-year-old born without hands! What's so special about her is that she tried and won a national award for penmanship! To this sweet girl, "Handwriting is fun and special."

She writes by holding pencil steadily between her forearms. She came to Western Pennsylvania when she was 2 years old. She is loved by her adopted parents and 8 step-brothers and sisters. She is a adorable little girl! Check out Annie's manuscript that won the Nicholas Maxim Special Award for Excellent Penmanship for Grades 1-2.

I am very impressed with this story since my penmanship is pretty bad. It is so bad that sometimes I could not read my own handwritings after few days.
