Kanya Sesser is nothing short of inspirational. Born without legs in Pak Chong, Thailand, she was abandoned by her family just one week after birth. She spent a year as an orphan before being adopted by a couple from Portland, Oregon, who took her to the United States.
Since then, Kanya has excelled at sports such as skateboarding, skiing, surfing, hiking, tennis, athletics and swimming. She is currently training for the USA Paralympics Track and Field Team, hoping to compete in Rio 2016. She’s also an accomplished lingerie model, and lives by the phrase of #NoLegsNoLimits. We think she’s pretty damn right.
It’s back to class and the lunch ladies probably aren’t all that excited to see your faces either, so relax. The tolling of the metaphorical school bell to Honolulu’s, sixteen year old Noa Mizuno sounds a lot like crashing waves and oddly hearing the word “FIRING” from the mouths of friends every time his math teacher opens her mouth. Though he can’t get in the water until he’s done doodling in each subject’s notebook for a few hours, Noa’s schooling doesn’t just end at Punahou. Class is back in session but here in the water he’s not the one taking notes.
