Devon Gallagher,a college graduate from Philadelphia,wants the world to know exactly where she's been during 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 setbacks for Gallagher early on,she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message,Gallagher has taken to social media,where she shares photos of her travels across the globe,but instead of simply using a geotag,she writes her location across 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 spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise 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 chalkboard," Gallagher said. "My mum and grandmother weren't too keen on 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. "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,but regardless,I've been able to keep up with my peers 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.

1.Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow,failure and success,hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward(不歸路) and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life,our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong,good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived,but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in jye.ai.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky,teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money,fame,pride and selfrespect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble,modest,courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour,because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday,for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown,for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today,so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
