We are all given
talents and ability but most of us don’t use it. We are either too busy or just
plain uninterested to cultivate our hidden gifts. While most people don’t seem
to bother with their talents, this special kid will show you the right thing to
do!

When you hear
the term ‘Down Syndrome’, what comes into your mind? Down syndrome is a genetic
defect that affects over millions of people all over the globe. It affects
their speech and capacity of thinking and responding, and also touches their
physical body. That’s why most of us think they are incapable and incompetent due
to their condition.
Unfortunately, though
this may be true in some aspect, the society fails to see the other side of
children who have Down syndrome, but this girl who happens to have the disease
will open our eyes to what she can do!
This 12-yeard
old girl is not afraid to show her talent to the world despite of her
condition. Madison Tevlin has become an internet sensation when her video
circulated the internet.
“All I wanna do is inspire!” She stated.
She sang John
Legend’s All of me but because of
some difficulty with her speech, she needs to use the standard vocal energy
twice in order to speak well. She does
not sing perfectly, but what amazed the netizens is her passion and her
emotions while singing. You can really feel how well she relates to the song,
and that’s what made it more meaningful.
According to
Down syndrome Education International, “Very
few people with down syndrome will ever be able to sing.” Even stated in the
video, Madison is truly defying statistical odds with her amazing talent.
But of course,
singing is just one of the things that she defied. Watch the video here and
find out for yourself!
