    She has testified before Congress in support of anti-bullying legislation and is the subject of an award-winning documentary, A Brave Heart, that chronicles her life and her anti-bullying activism.

It's humbling to experience that special something about humanity that we just need to be reminded not to take for granted.

    I like to look at these people who have physical deformities and find their spirit because the spirit is the real you. When one has a lovely spirit it comes through.

    She is so wise. Comparing one's self to someone else, no matter who you are, can lead to discontent, dissatisfaction or discouragement. This young lady has grasped ahold of truth that evades many people. Good for her!!

    I've been binge watching these videos as well and the only word I can think of to describe these videos is: INSPIRING. Keep doing what you're doing and shedding light on the community who deserves it more than anyone else!
