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’ uses her    as naturally as if they were fingers, writing on the blackboard, typing on the computer and    papers. Her students say she can do everything a   teacher can do.
Ms Gannon, born with no arms, was    by her parents at birth. She grew up in a Mexican orphanage (孤儿院)and was    by an American family in Ohio when she was seven. She spoke no English      she arrived in the United States, so she found    very difficult to communicate with other children. She didn't     . Instead, she devoted a lot of time to practizing the language. Now, she speaks English     .
In 2011, she joined the     and now teaches math and science at the school. Every morning, she     to work in a car. At school, she gives three or four lessons to students. She does not     being called handicapped "because it has a(n)      meaning", she said. One of the motivational (激励性的）signs that Gannon posts for her    is "Life has no limitations     the ones you make."
She hopes her story teaches the children a(n)   life lesson. "I'm doing what I want to do. And if you set your   to whatever you love to do, then go for it—no one can stop you. I don't really like the word can't." She hopes her "can-do"     will inspire her pupils, who are     in their lessons. Eighth grader Cambri Griffin said that she was greatly     by her spirit and determined to work hard at her lessons. And that's exactly what she's aiming to achieve.
