Girl who uses her chin to draw is chasing her dream
College freshman with no use of arms, hands pursuing dream of becoming a graphic artist

ST. LOUIS, MO -- A Missouri girl with a serious muscular disorder is chasing a big dream. She wants to draw for our parent company, Disney.

Brooke Feltmeyer has a condition called arthrogryposis. It affects all of her muscles in her arms and legs. She loves to draw and uses her chin to guide her pencil.

Brooke is a college freshman studying graphic design. Many people have doubted Brooke's abilities, but she told KSDK she wants to land a job drawing for Disney.

"I really like Mickey and Minnie the best," she said. "I remember the first day of my art class. My teacher did not think I was going to be able to do it, he thought I needed to be switched to a different class."

Brooke admits she will have to work very hard to make her Disney dreams of working as a graphic designer come true.
