A seven-year-old student born without hands has won a US national handwriting contest.
Anaya Ellick is from Chesapeake, Virginia. When she writes she stands to get the proper angle and she holds a pencil between her arms. She beat 50 other competitors to get the special-needs category prize at the National Handwriting Contest. The category she was in rewards students with an intellectual, physical, or developmental disability. Someone said that her writing sample was comparable to someone who had hands.
My opinion:
I think that this is awesome! She has no hand and she won that must be an amazing achievement for her and I wonder how much she had to practice writing while standing up.
This is what her winning entry looked like:
