HE’S BLIND – AND LORD OF THE LANES!

-

A PLUCKY California teen has talent to spare when it comes to bowling — despite being legally blind and hearing impaired!

Jacob Gaddam, 16, first picked up a ball at age five and found the sport was right up his alley. He’s since bowled several perfect games and racked up national titles — and snagged over $10,000 in college scholarshi­p money.

“I will admit I have a stubborn side,” he says. “When someone tells me I can’t do that, I will do it just to prove it wrong.”

Though Jacob dreams of one day going pro, the ambitious kid says he also wants to work toward becoming a boat mechanic.
