'I had no hand, then one day my peers built me one' - After overcoming bullying at his old school, this heart-warming gesture from these hhscommandos students changed one young man's life. ❤️
An unexpected surprise in high school
In 2022, I decided to complete my sophomore year at Hendersonville High School in Tennessee. I had joined a computer class in 2022 and it was then that my teacher saw me using my left hand to click on a mouse. He had asked me questions about my right hand because he was very curious. He had then offered to build me a synthetic hand. I was surprised, I never expected it.
I have always been interested in building and creating cool and useful things, I had also joined a class called Principles of Engineering, which was run by the same teacher. It was very cool because there were robots and lots of computer software for us to use. We could also build objects in 3D, which is how these older students were able to make a prosthetic hand for me.
A few weeks later, when I was in my engineering class, my teacher showed me the finished prosthetic hand. As he was adjusting it, I felt very happy. It looked cool and robotic, and it was grey and blue. We then tested weather I was able to grip objects with it. The students threw a ball at me and I shockingly caught it with the prosthetic hand; the whole class was amazed. My teacher was so happy that the hand worked. It was exciting for him to see me catch a ball for first time in 15 years.
