As well as homeschooling her tenyearold son, Pauline Victoria Aughe, 36, from Hawaii, also has a successful career as a fundraiser and motivational speaker. She is now posting inspirational videos on YouTube to show how she deals with everyday tasks to prove that nothing is impossible.Pauline said, “I was born with no limbs and so I dont know any difference. But the fact that I have no limbs doesnt stop me doing anything. I even drive and I know that must shock some people. I have realised that people who watch my YouTube videos in which I show people how I can eat, put on 3makeup, drive and even send emails without legs and arms can be inspired to change their lives, and thats what I try to do help other people achieve their full potential.” Despite the challenges that life has thrown at her, Pauline also admits she is an eternal (永恒的) optimist.When she was young, she did as many things as she could like a normal teenager, like getting involved in sports teams and school clubs. When it came to starting university, Pauline was also determined to “go it alone” and deliberately chose to study in another city to prove her independence. She got accepted to study broadcast journalism at Santa Clara University in San Francisco in 1993, and aside from occasionally asking her roommate for help when using the bathroom, Pauline used the skills she had developed as a child to manage by herself at university. And she continued to solve problems in daily life with her developing skills after she graduated. She got a job at a hightech market research company and finally became a disability advocate for a local council.She said, “I am determined to do as many things as I can by myself.
