With an iron will, he finds a way
February 29th, 2008
From the New York Times:
Dustin Carter, a high school senior from Goshen, Ohio, wrestles unlike any of his opponents. Carter had multiple amputations at the age of 5, the result of a blood infection. He’s in the Ohio Division II wrestling quarterfinals, with a 41-2 record for the season for Hillsboro High School.
“I don’t look at myself as different,” said Carter, who uses prosthetic legs when he is not wrestling. “I wrestle like anybody else. I go to school like anybody else. I can live on my own like anybody else. I can do anything anybody else can do. I don’t like people feeling sorry for me. Some people do.”
