No Excuses!
As I put the book down I felt a new power growing in me. I had never felt this way after reading a book. The title of the book was "No Excuses" It was written by a teenage guy who was born with no arms and no legs. All he had for limbs were little stubs. Legs that stopped above the knee and arms that had on elbows were not exactly ideal for sports. But he didn't let that stop him! He pursued his dream of becoming a wrestler and joined his schools team. Much to their surprise he became the best in the league. No body could beat him! He went on to take State title twice, and then write this amazing book. He challenges teens to never make up excuses and to always challenge themselves. It sure helped me to try and not make excuses! I always told my self "If a man with no arms and legs can take state title in wrestling, then I can do this!"
