I love stories about remarkable people overcoming adversity:
A woman born with no arms is proving to children they can achieve whatever they want to – by teaching them with her feet.
Mary Gannon, who works at a Lakewood, Ohio middle school, writes on the board, types on her computer and hands out worksheets with her toes.
Ms Gannon, who teaches maths and science, grew up in a Mexican orphanage and was adopted by an Ohio family when she was seven.
She joined the school last year as a substitute teacher and now tutors 6th, 7th and 8th graders full-time, driving to work in a car with the number plate: ‘Happy Feet.’
Speaking to Fox 8, she said hopes her determination teaches the children a valuable life lesson.
