Answer:
Jessica Cox is part of a small group of women pilots, only about 6% of non-commercial pilots in the US are women. But what makes her stand out is that she is the world’s first armless, abled aviator. Born without arms, Cox never let her disability become her disadvantage. She learned at a young age how to use her feet as her hands. She was frustrated and would act out because she did not have arms. She confesses that she was a “bratty child,” and just could not understand why she did not have arms when her older brother, her younger sister, and her parents all had arms. At the beginning of eight grade, after eleven years of wearing prosthetic arms, she decided to be “the real Jessica” and ditch her arms. This was the start of her new life and the start of new beginnings.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her journey to become a pilot started after she gave a speech to a Rotary chapter where Robin Stoddard invited her to participate in his nonprofit organization, Wright Flight. This was going to give her the opportunity to fly with the organization. But before flying with them, she had her first taste of being a pilot.
