While your life may be different now, it can be incredibly rewarding. Consider the stories of these four amazing people who have learned how to thrive with prosthetic limbs.

1. Jeremy Campbell

Due to fibular hemimelia, Campbell had his leg amputated when he was just a year old. But he has never let that get him down. Despite living with a prosthetic leg, he participated in sports his entire life. He even played quarterback on his high school football team.

Campbell began competing in pentathlon and discus in 2003. He excelled at discus throwing and won three gold medals at the Paralympic Games. He even broke a record and threw a discus more than 60 meters. He recently achieved fourth place at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

2. Jessica Long

Like Campbell, Jessica Long was born with fibular hemimelia. She has been walking with prostheses since she was 18 months old. She was involved in many different sports as a child but eventually decided to focus on competitive swimming.

At age twelve, Long was the youngest swimmer in the 2004 Paralympics—yet she still won three gold medals. Long has won an amazing amount of Paralympic medals, 23 total, during her swimming career. She recently won six medals at the recent Rio games.

3. Melissa Stockwell

Melissa Stockwell lost a limb while serving in the Iraq War when she was struck by a bomb in 2004. She received the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. She also worked for the Wounded Warrior Project to support other injured veterans.

Stockwell had a difficult recovery from her injuries. But, she never stopped working hard to achieve her dreams. She was the first Iraq veteran to compete in the Paralympics when she swam in three events. She then began competing in triathlons, and she's won the world championship in her class for three years straight. She also won a bronze medal in a triathlon at the 2016 Paralympics.

Stockwell helped found Dare2Tri, a triathlon club for disabled athletes.

4. Matt Stutzman

Known as the "Armless Archer," Matt Stutzman performs archery with his feet. He was born without arms and learned to adapt to daily living. Not only did he adapt, but he thrived. His archery skills won him the silver medal in the 2012 Paralympics.

Stutzman credits much of his drive to his parents, who raised him under the motto that "impossible is a state of mind." He was fitted with prosthetic arms at 13 months old and learned how to use them in just two days. However, Stutzman uses only his legs, feet, and mouth to shoot arrows.

Stutzman's goal is to be the best archer in the world. He is well on his way: he achieved a world record for the longest accurate archery shot in history.
