Armless Pilot to Be an Inspiration

Earning a black belt in martial arts and being issued a pilot’s license are both impressive accomplishments that take years of effort to achieve, but 30-year-old Jessica Cox has done both despite being born without arms.
獲得跆拳道黑帶和飛行員執(zhí)照都是令人印象深刻的成就，但是30歲的杰西卡?考克斯在天生沒有雙臂的情況下卻努力了數(shù)年時(shí)間完成了它們。

Cox has learned to do everything with her feet. Against all odds (盡管有極大的困難) but with strong faith and the help of her family, she put herself through high school and then college, typing papers with her toes. She became the first armless black belt in the American Taekwondo (跆拳道) Association and now has two black belts. She got her driver’s license and then, astonishingly, her pilot’s license in 2008. The feet earned her a place in the Guinness World Records, which recognized her for becoming the first person without arms to fly an airplane.
