live exceptional lives ?i am amazed at the number of
people
who watch
evan
compete at a high level in athletics and assume that being an amputee must give him some sort of advantage,? randy says. ?he wrestles without prosthetics, and his upper body strength is remarkable, but he has no feet to give him leverage. still,
people
look for ways to explain his success. he is successful because he works tirelessly to improve his skills in whatever he does.? with
evan
?s position on the
team
, he has become a role model to many. he inspires
people
with his can-do attitude and determination. he hopes to be an inspiration to
people
because of the way he treats everyone with kindness, but he knows many
people
living with similar obstacles look up to him as well.
evan
has had support from family, friends, and teachers along his journey, and he has always lived his life believing he can do anything. randy admires
evan
?s sense of determination and kindness. he says
evan
shows other kids that they can accomplish their goals, regardless of obstacles, if they never give up. jenny is also proud of
evan
?s willpower and deep inner strength. she says he has a willingness to try and never complains about challenges. in fact, he thrives on them.
evan
has big plans for the future, including competing in the paralympics and trying rowing. when he graduates, he plans to attend college. while he loves lsu, he is also looking at smaller schools where he could continue kicking for a football
team
. ?sometimes
people
have doubted me, but i enjoy proving them wrong,? he says. ?i?m very competitive, and i get a lot of joy and satisfaction from always challenging myself and reaching my goals.? ? provide for this little child. we prayed.? despite his prosthetic legs,
evan
became involved in football, tennis, and water sports, and this past summer, he joined dunham?s football
team
as the kicker. ?everyone was very welcoming and receptive,?
evan
says. ?i really appreciated coach weiner giving me a chance to earn a spot on the
team
.? however,
evan
has noticed some misconceptions about sports and prosthetics. some think he has an advantage due to his prosthetic legs. he knows that those
people
may not understand his situation, so he always lets his success on the field prove that he is worthy of his spot on the
team
. randy has also witnessed these misconceptions when
evan
was wrestling. f riday nights during the fall are for high school football under the bright lights of a crowded stadium. for
evan
light, whose legs are amputated below the knee, this night is no different, as he is the kicker for the dunham school football
team
.
evan
was injured in an accident in his native country of india when he was eight months old. he was taken to a children?s home in calcutta, where he was given the name ?ajoy,? which means ?unconquerable.? jenny and randy light adopted him when he was two years old. ?when we first became aware of
evan
, we knew that he had lost his feet, but we knew nothing of the challenges he would face,? jenny says. ?we tried to learn what we could about what we would need to by madeline rathle unconquerable photo credit: madeline vezain 3 4 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | j a n u a r y 2 0 1 9
