Have you ever said to yourself, “I’m too tired to walk,” or “it’s just too hard?” What about all those times in your life where you decided to put something off until later? How about the countless instances you refused to practice your instrument or do your drills for your favorite sport? Now imagine all of those instances only you had one arm to deal with. If you want a story of inspiration look no further today. According to Brobible:
Luke Terry is a 14-year-old eighth-grade catcher at Cornersville Middle School in Lewisburg, Tennessee. At 19 months old, he contracted E. Coli. which started eating at his arm, resulting in multiple shots and blood being drawn. The procedures got so precarious that the toddler flatlined three times during his multiple visits to the hospital. Now, against all odds, Terry is now a star baseball player, starting catcher and batting third at Cornersville Middle School.
“I don’t even think about it,” Terry told The Tennessean about playing with one arm. “Fans tell me, ‘You’re an inspiration.’ They want me to go a long ways.” “He’s amazing,” Terry’s teammate Logan Courtemanche said. “He’s good. He’s as quick as anyone around. He’s really quick.”
And it doesn’t just end there. Luke leads an incredible life. He hunts, works on the family farm, and learned how to play video games but holding the controller with his feet and left arm to use the remote.
What’s your excuse?
