When you read the heading of this story you might think I am going to discuss Oscar's trial, what I think the verdict will be or if I think he's guilty or not. I do not wan to raise your hopes high, so I am telling you now already, I am not going to. So, sorry that I disappoint you, I don't even watch the trial, it makes me feel uneasy.
Anyway with that aside, sometime early last year I was sitting with my mom when the news broke that Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. My mother was so disappointed and hurt that she started crying. She explained to me that she is not crying because of her, but for all the small boys that are in the same situation that he is in (amputees), and look up to him.She then told me a story she read about a boy who got his legs amputated when he was a toddler, but his life changed when he saw Oscar racing at the Paralympics. From that day on, this boy decided he will not let the fact that he has no legs stop him from achieving his dreams or doing what he loves.
