intro

I am a man who was born without a right hand. I have spent most of my life trying to prove to people that I am pretty normal and can do most anything that other people can. From riding a bike to playing baseball, I have been impressing people by being able to do these things. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, far from it, I just want to let people know that people who are different still can do things normal people do.
Ever since I can remember people are surprised when I tell them I can tie my shoes, ride a bike and drive a car. I had a boss that I think he thought he was the only one who would give a guy like me a job and when ever he brought clients around he would "show me off" like saying look I help the disabled guy out.
Now in my 30s and a successful designer in an engineering company looking back on my life I notice that its interesting to watch people's first encounter with "the little hand" as I call it.
