12.- READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS Nick Vujicic Nick Vujicic

Nick Vujicic Born 4 December 1982 (age 28)[1]

Brisbane, Australia Ethnicity Serbian

Occupation Preacher, motivational speaker, Director of Life Without Limbs Religion Christian

Nicholas James Vujicic (born 4 December 1982) is a preacher and motivational speaker born with Tetra-amelia, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. He struggled as a child, eventually came to terms with his disability and started his own non-profit organization Life Without Limbs at age seventeen. He is widely known as a motivational speaker, giving talks wordwide on life with a disability, hope, and finding meaning in life. Background and personal The eldest child of a Serbian family,[2] Vujicic (pronounced 'Vooy-cheech') was born in Brisbane, Australia. He was limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, as well as legless. His feet were toeless except for two toes on one foot. Initially, his parents were devastated, though Vujicic was otherwise healthy. Originally prohibited by Victoria state law from attending a mainstream school because of his physical disability, even though he was not mentally impaired, Vujicic became one of the first disabled students integrated into a mainstream school, once the laws changed.[4] Bullied at school, Vujicic grew depressed and by the age of 8, contemplated suicide. At age 10, he tried to drown himself in 6 inches of water, but did not go through with it out of love for his parents.[5] After praying to grow arms and legs, Vujicic eventually realized that his accomplishments could inspire others and became grateful for his life.[6] A key turning point came when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability. Vujicic realized he wasn't unique in his struggles[7] and began to embrace and transcend his disability. He began to master the daily tasks of life. He learned to write using the two toes on his left foot with a special grip that slid onto his big toe. He learned to use a

computer and type using the "heel and toe" method. He learned to throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get himself a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone and shave. In grade seven he was elected captain of his school and worked with the student council on fund-raising events for local charities and disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group,[8] and eventually started his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs. In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the "Young Australian of the Year" Award. Vujicic currently lives in California. Career Vujicic graduated from university at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning. Subsequently he became a motivational speaker, travelling internationally and focusing on teen issues. Having addressed over three million people in over 24 countries on five continents, [9] he speaks to corporate audiences, congregations and schools. Vujicic promotes his work through television shows and through his writing. His first book, Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life (Random House, 2010)[10] was published in 2010. He markets a motivational DVD, Life's Greater Purpose, a short documentary filmed in 2005 highlighting his home life and regular activities. The second part of the DVD was filmed at his local church inBrisbane one of his first professional motivational speeches. He markets a DVD for young people titled: No Arms, No Legs, No Worries: Youth Version.[11] In March 2008, he was interviewed by Bob Cummings for 20/20. He appeared in the short film "The Butterfly Circus" which won the Doorpost Film Project's top prize of 2009,[12] and the Best Short Film award at the Method Fest Film Festival, where Vujicic was also awarded Best Actor in a short film. Butterfly Circus also just won the Best Short Film at the Feel Good Film Festival in Hollywood in 2010. A).- What is the text about?
