A Girl with No Arms Goes for Taekwondo Black Belt
Meet Sheila Radziewicz, she was born without arms and kneecaps. Doctors weren’t sure that she could survive but they were certain that she could never walk. Not only she can walk, she’s also about to get her black belt in taekwondo. Of course, it got 32-year-old Sheila a lot of courage and determination to achieve all this.But she has a normal and successful life.She left home when she was 19-years-old and got her driver’s licence 4 years later and since drives a special-built car with her feet. She works and of course, after having discovered taekwondo 3 years ago, she thoroughly follows her trainings.Hats off and a big respect to this courageous woman. I am really glad for her. She shows that not only we can live while being disabled but also go for our dreams and achieve them.
Hyden Wave Rock – The Pre-Historic Surf
Wave Rock is part of the northern face of Hyden Rock and this amazing nature sculpture is located at Perth, Australia. The shape of the wave is formed by gradual erosion of the softer rock beneath the upper edge, over many centuries. Wave Rock has cultural significance to Aborigines. More than 140,000 tourists visit wave rock every year.
