Nothing is impossible!!

Jessica Cox suffered a rare birth defect and was born without any arms.
None of the prenatal tests her mother took showed there was anything
wrong with her. And yet she was born with this rare congenital disease,
but also with a great spirit.

The psychology graduate can write, type, drive a car, brush her hair and
talk on her phone simply using her feet.

Ms Cox, from Tuscon, Arizona, USA, is also a former dancer and double
black belt in Tai Kwon-Do.

She has a no-restrictions driving license, she flies planes and she can
type 25 words a minute.

The plane she is flying is called an Ercoupe and it is one of the few
airplanes to be made and certified without pedals. Without rudder pedals
Jessica is free to use her feet as hands. She took three years instead of
the usual six months to complete her lightweight aircraft licence, had
three flying instructors and practiced 89 hours of flying
