Zion Clark is a 26-year-old author and social activist, as well as an actor and athlete.
He set three world records by sprinting 20 meters on his hands, performing a high jump using his hands, and doing diamond pushups in 3 minutes.
When Zion was born, he suffered from a rare disease that affected his body below the waist.
According to Zion, “My biological mother didn’t take care of herself while she was pregnant with me, and she also used various drugs, which harmed me.”
“It made my life difficult because of this; I had to have two separate surgeries on my hips just to be able to sit up straight,” he explained.
It took a long time for Zion to find an adoptive home in this situation, but he was eventually adopted by a mother named Kimberly Hawkins.
Speaking about her, he says, “Although many people call her his adoptive mother, to me she is my real mother.”
“My mother brought me many opportunities. She would come and pick me up when many people were passing by and then support me as I became stronger in athletics.”
So Zion not only suffered from not having a family, but he was often bullied and laughed at at school, and he was very sad about it.
Then, in an attempt to improve himself, he entered wrestling competitions while still in elementary school, but he never won a single match for years.
Tired of always coming last, Zion began practicing every day to overcome this challenge and has been practicing 2 to 3 wrestling matches a day for 3 months.
So, in his last year of school, he was the best athlete in the school, and after that, he faced many good opportunities and even entered the world record for the most amazing athletes.
When talking about the future, Zion also said that he has big plans and wants to achieve them.
Speaking about himself, he says, “There is no one in the world who can move faster using his hands than me, no one can do more push-ups in 3 minutes than me, and no one can jump higher than me using only his hands, and I am number one in the world in these three areas.”
In his message to people like him who are going through various difficulties, Zion advises, “The sun will rise tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so don’t lose hope, choose what makes you happy, and be yourself.”
