15-year-old Sergio Peralta was very nervous about not knowing anyone at Henderson High School. He also worried that people would make fun of him, because his right hand didn’t form fully at birth. “In the first days of school, I honestly felt like hiding my hand,” the senior-two said. “Like nobody would ever find out.”

It turns out, his classmates were a lot more open-minded than he thought. In fact, when his teacher noticed Sergio’s hand, he suggested the students in his class might be able to help him. The school has online modeling software (软件) and a 3D printer, so the teacher suggested a real-life application that would benefit both the students and Sergio. Several students eagerly began working on a prosthetic (义肢的) hand for their new classmate.

“They ended up offering me help, saying ‘We could build your prosthetic hand,’ and I never expected it,” said Sergio.  Students worked with Sergio to get the prosthetic right, and when it was finished, it was beyond all expectations. Sergio was now able to catch a baseball in his right hand for the first time in 15 years. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone was nervous,” the teenager recalled.

Except for having a useful prosthetic hand, Sergio felt something even more powerful: He fit in. Rather than being laughed at for his difference, he was celebrated and helped. “They changed my life,” said Sergio.
