Hand amputation doesn't stop Plano East graduate from playing soccer 
and living an independent life.  

Mario Frias never liked to dwell on or sulk in the face of tragedy, 
even if nobody would blame him for doing so.  

"I don´t like being sad," the 17-year-old Plano resident said. "Why 
think negatively if it already happened?"  

Frias expressed his simple philosophy of pragmatic optimism in a 
conference call with the Plano Star Courier and Sarah Garza, an 
occupational therapist that has been helping him adjust to life 
following the most physically and mentally traumatic moment of his 
life.  

In December 2021, Frias was in Chihuahua, Mexico vacationing with his 
family. Taking part in an ATV race, Frias took a different route that 
prompted him to make a slight turn, which caused the vehicle to flip  
over and land on his left hand.
