When Jordan Reeves was 8 years old, she couldn’t wait to start a new dance class. But as she was warming up, she noticed that some of the kids were staring at her. Was her leotard on backward? Had she spilled something on herself? Nope. The kids were looking at her left arm. It stops above the elbow.
“I’ve had to deal with people staring at me my whole life,” Jordan, now 13, explains.
Although Jordan sometimes feels uncomfortable when people stare, she’s proud to be different. And she’s using her difference to inspire other kids with disabilities.
“You can do cool things—just give it a try,” Jordan says. “You might have to do it differently than other people, but it’s worth trying.”
