It's because she has no arms and uses her feet to do a range of daily tasks which able-bodied people take for granted.
Miss Tisha Shelton, 25, was born with no arms. Where her arms should be, there are only small indentations.
She told viewers that there's no explanation as to why she was born that way.
"My mother didn't do any drugs, there was no explosions, chemicals, she didn't dye her hair or anything. There's no reason whatsoever, I just came out, no arms," she said in a video.
In addition, the Missouri girl's right leg is curved and shorter than her left leg by about 20cm - a disability she says "makes a big difference when (she) tries to walk around".
Doctors had recommended that her mother amputate her shorter leg when she was a baby, saying that it would make putting on a prothesis easier.
Horrified, her mother immediately killed the idea, pointing out that her daughter already lacked arms, and did not need another limb taken away from her - a step Tisha said she's extremely grateful to her mother for.
Now, she wears a specially designed prosthesis created to fit the shape of her right heel and foot.
One would think that any other person who has gone through the obstacles Tisha has gone through would have lost her spirit by now, but not so for Tisha.
Far from letting her disabilities get her down, the graphic design graduate created a video blog this summer in a bid to impress employers that her disability is not an obstacle.
