The topic of my article is that a boy is able to walk again. The title of my article is called “East Texas boy getting a chance to finally walk”. My article is from KLTV or here. A boy named Ethan was born with arthrogryposis. He had always wanted to be a “normal” kid. Ethan had the opportunity to get his legs amputated and have prosthetic legs. After a while, Ethan had decided he would go through with the surgery. Now Ethan can be able to play and jump around with the other kids like he had always dreamed to. Having a great offer like Ethan did is an amazing thing. Now I know others can have such a life changing opportunity to be themselves and run around like the others kids. I feel happy knowing Ethan can live the “normal” life he has always wanted. This event affects me because I want to become a physical therapist or assistant for children. I love seeing kids light up having opportunities like this. Helping kids like Ethan make the job worth it. Now I can help them get to where they need to be. I can say this makes me feel grateful. Having prosthetics like these impact the world greatly. This allows people to become capable of doing things they always wanted to. A surgery isn’t always easy. Ethan showed me how strong he really is. I’m more than happy for people to have opportunities like these, and live their life the way they want.
