Bestselling author Alvin Law, who was born with no arms, urged students at Falmouth Middle School to leave the world better than they found it during a visit to the school earlier this month.
Law spoke to about 450 students about how to be a successful, compassionate, positive and engaged human being, told stories and played the drums.
He emphasized that having the right attitude in life can help people overcome any adversity, and encouraged students to stop making excuses and start making choices. Having a positive attitude, Law said, “really does make a difference,” according to a press release from the school.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
