¡¡Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs,  but he doesn’t let it stop him.The brave young man plays football and golf,  swims,  and surfs,  despite the fact that he has no limbs.

¡¡¡¡Nick has a small foot on his left side,  which helps him balance and enables him to kick.He uses his one foot to type,  write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.“I call it my chicken drumstick.” joked Nick,  who was born in Melbourne,  Australia,  but now lives in Los Angeles.“I’d be lost without it.When I get in the water I float because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller.”

¡¡¡¡“He’s very shy,  but he gets marriage offers from women all the time, ” said Nick’s friend,  Steve Appel,  an expert from Los Angeles.“He would love to get married and start a family,  but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”

¡¡¡¡When Nick was born,  his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit.His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.

¡¡¡¡His disability came without any medical explanation,  which was a rare case.“My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy,  but she still blamed herself, ” he said.

¡¡¡¡“It was so hard for them,  but right from the start they did their best to make me independent.When I was 18 months old my dad put me in the water and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.”

¡¡¡¡Through his own efforts,  Nick graduated from university.He made numerous encouraging speeches to young people in the world,  which made a far-reaching difference in their life.
