Students learn what’s
possible without arms
By Timothy Chipp
Abilene Reporter-News
ABILENE (AP) - When Jes-
sica Cox accepted the invitation to
presentthe keynote address to the
Texas State Technical College’s
Blossom Day Camp in Abilene,
she wanted to inspire.
The students, 140 from both
Clyde and Albany independent
school districts, were primed for
a little motivation, as the camp
serves to expose the youngsters
to science, technology, engineer-
ing and mathematics (STEM)
career paths.
As a pilot, Cox said, she needs
a lot of math and science knowl-
edge to keep the plane in the air.
But it’s Cox’s physical attributes
inspiring the girls to pursue
their dreams.
Bom without arms, Cox not
only flies airplanes, she drives a
car, surfs, scuba dives, plays the
piano, practices as a black belt in
taekwondo and is a motivational
speaker. That’s more than most
regularly abled individuals do
with their lives.
“My message for them is that
it’s great to be different,” Cox
said. “They can excel, that noth-
ing is impossible. It has to start
with self-acceptance, though.
Especially at their ages, where
there’s a lot of pressure to con-
form.”
Pilot Jessica Cox
demonstrates how
she puts her head-
phones on to at-
tendees of the
Texas State Tech-
nical College’s
Blossom Day Camp
in Abilene on Tues-
day. Cox, born
without arms, is
the first person in
aviation history to
fly a plane with
only her feet.

ridge and Brownwood, will
hopefully serve as a catalyst for
the young ladies to follow their
dreams into math and science
careers.
Those jobs pay well, she said,
and are dominated by men for
an unknown reason.
‘We want to expose these
young ladies to the various sci-
ence, technology, engineering
and mathematics concepts out
there,” Gist said. “The numbers
are lopsided for men and wom-
en in STEM careers, but there
doesn’t seem to be any one rea-
son why more men are in these
high-paying jobs than women.
We’re just trying to encourage
them so maybe they’ll help
change this.”
Madison Frost, a seventh-
grade student at Clyde Junior
High School, said she had a
great time at this year’s camp.
She’d never participated before,
so the different atmosphere pre-
sented at the TSTC Culinary
Arts building on North First
Street piqued her interest.
Frost said despite her age,
she’s thinking of pursuing a ca-
reer in accounting when she gets
older. A math fan, she said she
likes the money aspect.
“I like dealing with money,”
Madison said, adding she
doesn’t see why women can’t do
the same jobs men do.
While Madison is a fan of
math, her classmate Megan
Smith, also attending Blossom
Camp for the first time, said she’s
more of a fan of history and
reading.
While she’s more at home
studying humanities courses,
she said the camp was interest-
ing. Especially when science ex-
periments became hands-on.
She was also interested in
hearing from Cox, who amazed
signing autographs, opening
cans and combing her hair all
with her feet.
“I enjoyed listening to Jessi-
ca,” Smith said. “She was very in-
spirational.”

Cox, who has a website at
www.rightfooted.com, released
her first book earlier this year.
Titled Disarm Your Limits, it
chronicles her life without pros-
thetic arms and gives insight in-
to how she and others struggling
with courage, determination
and creativity can overcome
challenges.
Aside from an improbable
story of success despite adversi-

number of different STEM pro-
grams offered by TSTC and
some encouraging words for the
students, the Abilene Reporter-
