This is brilliant.

Anaya Ellick is a seven-year-old first grader in Virginia, and she has recently won a national handwriting competition, beating 50 other children to first prize. On top of this achievement, Ellick was born without hands. Tracy Cox is the principal of Greenbrier Christian Academy in Chesapeake and she was full of praise for Ellick, telling ABCNews: "There is truly very little that this girl cannot do". Ellick chooses not to use prosthetics and achieves her prizewinning handwriting standards using her arms. Her entry was submitted in a category for students with cognitive delays, and intellectual or physical or developmental disabilities. The director of the competition Kathleen Wright said: "We looked at her writing and were just stunned to see how well her handwriting was, considering she writes without hands.Her writing sample was comparable to someone who had hands." Superintendent Ron H. White spoke of the 7-year-old's great attitude: "I don't think Anaya thinks of it as an obstacle". (Images via ABCNews)
