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.

"I was crying because I didnt have shoes until I saw a man that didnt have feet" this is an awsome example that we all humans can do a lot of awsome things even without arms!
Greetings from Kansas!
yea wicked awesome. and she'll never have those aquired moments when you dont know what to do with ur hands :)
Neat article! I wonder if she gives footjobs.
subhanallah..ALLAH (GOD Almighty)subhanwatal says in Quran "laisalinsana illa masea" and "ina sayekum mashkooran" means "no doubt you get whatver you strive for..and "we respect your hard work" she proves it......
She IS an inspiration..
what counts is feeling the pain of the parents and their resilience and motivation, particularly their will power to raise her with a strong spirit when she was only 1 year old..they gave her will to survive as good as normal a person...hats off to cox family...
