1. Six year old Resse Hollaway was born with out a left hand. He had trouble crawling. When parents gave him a prosthetic arm he delined it. At the age of 2 he taught himself to hit a ball. Resse now plays on a little league baseball team. He wants to go to the major plays and be like his idol Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves. Resse does not look as if he has a disability.

2. I feel that this a good thing. Resse is in the right mind set. He can do anything if he puts his mind. Hint: Chris Kelley. The only difference is Chris has a left hand and not a right hand.

3. I would not change this at all. There is no need to change Resse. He can do anything just as everyone else.
