Do you think he is a positive role model?
absolutely. Everything he’s doing on his social media, and what he’s doing on the show right now, is spreading awareness about amputees. I think what he is doing is wonderful.
What do you think of people who impose limitations on you or anyone else? There are a lot of negative people out there when it comes to children and adults with disabilities.
Well, I guess you have to prove them wrong. they can say what they want. They can tell you what you can and can’t do, but they don’t know it. And the best way to tell them I can do what they can do, or do better, is to prove them wrong.
My hashtag is always “#nolimits”. We have to prove them wrong. They don’t know what you can and can’t do.
Were you coached on set?
Yes, there was a set teacher. His name was Scott and he was awesome. They then got in touch with my school in Medford, so everything went smoothly for me. I was actually a little ahead in math, so that was good.
Why is spreading disability awareness so important to you?
Give children with amputees and disabilities a chance to get used to their bodies, to know that there are other children like them, that they can do anything other children can do, and that they are just aware. I know. Everything starts with awareness. If they don’t know it and people aren’t spreading the word, they won’t be able to do it.
