These Highschoolers Built A Prosthetic Hand For Their Classmate In 
Need.

High school students in Tennessee have demonstrated their kindness 
and technical abilities by building a prosthetic hand for one of 
their classmates, Sergio Peralta. The project began when a student in 
the school´s engineering club noticed their classmate, born without a 
right hand, struggling with daily tasks.  

Sergio Peralta was born with an undeveloped right hand. He practiced 
writing with his left hand. He stated he could handle almost any 
other profession by devising solutions for ordinary tasks such as 
lugging a water bottle from class to class. "In the first days of 
school, I honestly felt like hiding my hand," he told CBS News. "Like 
nobody would ever find out."
