Can’t and Impossible?!!!
For the determined nothing seems impossible…!!!
Twenty-four-year-old Jessica Cox was born without arms, but she has never let her disability prevent her from enjoying life to its fullest. Jessica also happens to be a licensed pilot, despite her lifelong fear of flying! She relies on her feet to steer and navigate the plane. Jessica can do almost anything just by using her feet. She can play the piano, text her friends, drive a car, and she even holds a black belt in Taekwondo. She is a motivational speaker, and the first licensed pilot without any arms. Jessica is truly an inspiration to all. She proves that you can do anything as long as you’re determined!
Though Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word “can’t”.
Regardless of being born without arms, she took part in different activities such as gymnastics, dancing and singing, frequently participating in large presentations.
Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn’t want to use prosthetic devices.
Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
Jessica Cox, 25, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
“When she came up here driving a car,” Traweek recalled, “I knew she’d have no problem flying a plane.”
With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.
“She’s a good pilot. She’s rock solid,” said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel’s Ray Blair Airport.
Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn’t come close to Cox’s abilities.

This is a very amazing story. God gave her one disability (no arms), but gave her so many opportunities in life. She manifests the real aadi shakti – the feminine power inherent in all women. This potential power is inherent in everyone, but most of the time we don’t recognize it. I should learn from this story, especially how I should increase my confidence and will power. This article will help and support me in raising my confidence level and will power. Thank you swami-ji. Your blessings are always with me.

Jessica’s example reveals the great potential within every human being, but we are constantly bogged down by fear! Jessica’s life should serve us as an inspiration to boldly step forward and attempt what we considered as impossible all these days.

Thanks for the most inspiring life story of the young lady without hands. It is the living example of ‘God is manifesting through her even without hands.’
With regards.
