MISSOURI CITY, Texas - Inside the Twin Tigers Badminton facility in Missouri City, future stars of the sport are hard at work.
One of them is Maulik Kaushik, a 17-year-old who will soon be a senior at Fort Bend ISD's Ridge Point High School.
Kaushik was diagnosed at birth with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism that affects about 1 in every 50,000 people.
