I'm proud of the most in my life is actually when I was at the Junior National Disability championship and it was in Iowa. Me and my dad had to go all the way there to this national competition for disabled kids. And I competed against lots of different kids, with maybe brain issue you can see it. I was in 9 events and 7 out of those 9 events I got national record. For a 9 year old you don't have as much competition as a grownup does but still it felt really good to me that I just got, I made history in the nationals. It felt really good, the lady there was like "oh my God you're so amazing, you're really good". I love competing so it was really fun.

Amputee

Nine-year-old Ezra was born with a shorter left leg and only one finger on his left hand. When he was only two and a half years old, Ezra underwent extensive surgery to amputate his foot on the shorter leg and use one of his toes to create a second finger on his left hand. Now, Ezra uses a prosthetic leg to not just walk around, but to compete in sports including basketball, football, karate, and track and field.
