The article "The Natural" by Mike Tierney is of a special basketball player, Zach Hodskins. He is a senior from Milton High School of Atlanta. He was born without a lefthand and forearm. Even with this disability, he has amazed many people with his basketball playing skills. He has gotten 4 million views on youtube, and has gained lots of respect. However, it was a little difficult to get to where he was, but he was very determined to live his dream, and so he did.
This article is a very life-changing article. It shows that anyone can make a difference, or live a dream, if they put their mind to it. For Zach, it wasn't always easy. But he tried and tried all throughout high school, and into college. He was determined and wanted to prove himself to the world. He is like a symbol of motivation. He believes that everyone should be proud of who they are, and live the way they want to, because even they have the power to prove something.
In conclusion, this article made me really appreciate Zach, and all that he has done. I think that his parents are very proud, because I sure am. I believe that his story will inspire many others to do big things, whether it's playing a sport, making inventions, or composing music, it is possible to do it. I think that if I, or anyone, wants to be something, Zach's example would be very good to use. I mean, look at where he is now. He's a very well-known basketball player, and on top of that, he's doing what he loves.
