Hi everyone! Greetings from my new school in San Antonio, Texas. This is an interesting city and I can do different things. There are two great places: Seaworld, a famous marine life theme park that has three daily shows with whales, seals and dolphins, and the San Antonio Zoo. It’s fantastic!

We can go down the river in a boat or walk along it; there are many places to sit, talk, and have something to eat or drink. Mexican food is delicious, and we can also listen to Mariachi music! This is a beautiful city and the people are very nice. I’ve got some new friends but I miss you all a lot! Write and tell me if you liked the photos! Love, Ema

EST THING ON NO LEGS THE FAST Name: Oscar Pistorius Sport: Athletics From: Pretoria, South Africa Date of Birth: 22 November 1986
Oscar Pistorius, the double amputee world record holder over 100, 200 and 400 meters, does not consider himself as impaired. “I'm not disabled”, he says, “I just don't have any legs.” He runs on a pair of fiber legs. He was only 11 months old when doctors amputated his limbs beneath the knee. Oscar has an incredible attitude to his disability, exclaiming: “When people ask me what's it like having artificial legs, I reply I don't know. What's it like having real legs?” Pistorius, a rugby, water polo and tennis enthusiast, became an athlete by chance in January 2004 when he shattered one of his artificial knees on the rugby field.
He went to the University of Pretoria for rehabilitation. “ Before that, I hated athletics” he says. Only eight months later he competed at the Athens Paralympics. He says: “Some people think they are disabled because they have one or two disabilities. But what about the millions of abilities they have? OK, you can't run or jump but there are so many things you can do.” Oscar Pistorius is not only a gold medalist and world record holder with no legs. He is an outstanding athlete, a real character and a true ambassador for disability sport. Source: http://bestuff.com/stuff/oscar-pistorius
