Her determination and spirit are the driving force in her life. In September of 1995 Molly decided that she would like to take karate lessons. Soccer never appealed to her, nor did ballet. We fully supported her decision, and we found a karate school that specializes in children. New situations are always hard for her until the other kids adjust to the way Molly looks, but she managed to hold her ground.
Most people think that karate consists of breaking boards and fighting.
However, this martial art is much more. It includes forms, which are series of 17-30 separate body movements including kicks, punches, and different stances. Molly learns the punches using the arms that she has. Because she has balance problems, the kicks and one footed movements are difficult for her. But she never gives up.
