乔什•森德奎斯特儿时因为癌症被截掉了左腿,但是身体残疾的他不改乐观性格,用机智幽默活出了自己的精彩人生。如今,他不仅成为一名励志演说家,还因为每年万圣节惊艳众人的“独腿cos”成了社交媒体红人。
Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with cancer when he was nine years old, and was told he had a 50% chance of surviving. He lost his left leg, despite chemotherapy, but by thirteen he was cancer-free, and by sixteen, he was ski-racing. Now, Sundquist is a motivational speaker that's become famous on social media for his clever, amputation-incorporating Halloween costumes.
乔什•森德奎斯特九岁时被诊断出癌症,并得知自己只有50%的幸存希望。尽管接受了化疗,他还是失去了自己的左腿,但13岁时,森德奎斯特的癌症痊愈了。16岁时他开始滑雪。森德奎斯特如今成了一名励志演说家,他因利用独腿打造机智的万圣节装扮,而在社交媒体走红。
"I've always dealt with the social discomfort of my disability by having a sense of humor," Sundquist explains. "But now I'm more comfortable with who I am and what I look like, and I guess with these Halloween costumes you could even say that I celebrate what makes me different. Which may be either weird or refreshing, depending on your perspective." He explains the inspiration for his costumes below:
