There are some things about today's youth that really bug me and make me scratch my head. Then there are these stories that bring back some hope.

Thanks for this rogbow.

Yes truly inspiring. It just goes to show you can do what you set out to do. No matter what you can and will prevail over any and all disabilities, whether it's physical, mental or all of the above. Hats off to this girl.
