Today in class we watched a ted talk about Amy Purdy. Amy had a blood disease at a young age and had to lose both of her legs from knee down. When she was talking and walking around the stage I did not even notice that she had fake legs that's how good and confident she was with her fake legs. I feel bad for Amy because she lost her legs and when people get fave limbs it limits there activity's but it didn't for Amy. Amy thought to her self I will probably never snowboard ever again but it too her a bit to get back riding because her fake feet didn't really help her. After practicing a lot she was able to snowboard again and that just shows dedication. I think the main message of Amy Purdy's ted talk was to show people that you can do anything if you put your mind to it like Amy won two gold medals with prosthetic legs. Sometimes people need stop and realize how good you have it because there is other people out there that have it pretty bad but Amy took this accident like a champ and is tough.
