Everyone is born “special”. You can use this term in any way you like. Some people define “special” as brilliant, while others define it as exceptional. This girl gives another meaning to the word “special”. She reads on to find out how she overcame her unique condition in her early life.
Vasilina Knutzen was born without arms. Kudos from her to her parents for encouraging her to pursue an alternative path to independence. To her Vasilina, she is just normal, as she is too young to be corrupted by society to know or understand what is normal. She has already learned to feed herself with her feet.
Most parents do not trust their young children to feed themselves. They are worried about the amount of food that will go into their little stomachs or the mess they will have to clean up later. But this beautiful girl was lucky to have a trusting and encouraging mother.
Elmira Knutzen, the proud and happy mother, has captured her young daughter’s achievement on camera, probably as motivation for other mothers to be just as encouraging and confident in their children’s abilities.
