Katy Sullivan is an actress, an athlete, and a person who also refuses to accept the words “no” or “I can’t”.
She was born without the lower half of her legs. So she has worn prosthetic (假体的) ones all her life. She had an active childhood and she felt lucky because her family treated her in just the same way as the other members.
When a person is born without legs, there are plenty of things that are difficult to do. But Katy believed she could achieve anything. So she chose two jobs that are difficult, even with both legs. As a teenager, she had made up her mind to be an actress. She did a degree in theatre and then moved to Los Angeles. And she has played roles in many theatres, televisions and movies there.
She has a positive view of life. She thinks that if you believe you can do something, you should go for it. So when Katy’s friend asked her whether she’d like to try running, she said “yes”. She was given a pair of running legs and she started her new life.
Katy was the first person in the world with two prosthetic legs to take up running as a competitive sport. She entered the final of the 100 metres in the 2012 London Paralympics.
Katy’s family, friends, and fans look up to her as an example of someone who has overcome her difficulties and achieved her dreams.
