No Limbs No Matter - Courage

No Limbs No Matter – A Farmer Makes the Most of His Gifts


Chris is a farmer at Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark, California.  He works hard, performs many jobs around the farm and has a great attitude.
But Chris is not exactly like other farmers at Apricot Lane or elsewhere.  What is unique is that he was born without arms or legs.  Yet, this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.
How, you may ask, is this possible?  Like other incredible people we have featured on IMK who do not have limbs, Chris does not focus on what he can’t do, but rather on what he CAN do.  And he can do A LOT!!!  He drives farm vehicles, shovels and rakes and tends to crops.  Once you see Chris in action, you begin to think there is nothing he could not do!



Challenge:  Now you have learned more about Chris ... answer the following questions.  (Don't forget to write your first name before you answer the question so we know who has commented.)
