US student wins writing-contest

Handless, seven-year-old girl wins US hand-writing contest:
A seven-year-old student, born without hands has won a US national hand-writing contest.

Anaya Ellick from Chesapeake, Virginia, USA does not use prosthetics.
To write, she stands to get the proper angle, holding a pencil between her arms.
Her principal, Tracy Cox from Greenbrier Christian Academy, describes her as an "inspiration".
"She does not let anything get in the way of doing what she has set out to do," says Miss Cox.
"She is a hard worker and has some of the best handwriting in her class."

 

Anya beat 50 other competitors to get the special-needs category prize at the National Handwriting Contest.

This category rewards students with an intellectual, physical, or developmental disability.
Competition director Kathleen Wright told ABC News that her "writing sample was comparable to someone who had hands".
