Devon Gallagher,a college graduate from Philadelphia,wants the world to know exactly where she's been while she's on her worldwide vacation in a special way.The traveler,who was born with a bone disease,had her right leg amputated (截肢)at the age of four.Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on,she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message.Gallagher has gone to social media,where she shares photos of her travels across the world,but instead of simply using a geo-tag(地理位置標簽),she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona,posing with a waffle in Brussels,taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest,all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
"I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it.One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board," Gallagher said. "My mum and grandmother didn't like the idea,but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it,so I did."
Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg,but once she shares the photos,she receives only positive feedback(反饋),"My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do," she said. "I don't know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it,anyway I've been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life."
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.And if life gives you an artificial leg,make art.
