Jacob Barnett - Child Math / Physics Prodigy

This video is an excerpt from the show 60 Minutes about a boy named Jacob Barnett, a child math and physics prodigy. He was exhibiting symptoms of autism as a young boy but managed to overcome that and now attends university at the age of 13 years old. Jacob would be amazing simply for overcoming autism, but on top of that he not only has an eidetic memory, but comprehends the things he memorizes then teaches others. He has appeared on Ted Talks, and has his own YouTube channel where he teaches math. His intent is to help people overcome their math phobias. Jacob's mother wrote a book called The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing, Genius, and Autism. I'm pleased to be able to feature a video of an academic prodigy. Enjoy!

Shaheen Jafargholi - Britain's Got Talent 2009

This is Shaheen Jafargholi, a little boy who appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2009. I get the impression this was during the era when Simon was not liked much...I think you'll see what I mean, especially if you watch his hands. Anyway, Shaheen's an impressive little boy with an awesome talent. He seems very resilient and has a great attitude as well. I was impressed with his performance! Since the audition he released an album, but it is currently unavailable through Amazon.

WoW! This girl has an awesome voice and an inspiring attitude. I hope she does great things with her gift! She sings "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood, who was discovered on American Idol.

Update on Rion Paige:

So the season of The X-Factor is nearly over, and Rion Paige appears to be doing well. They have worked with her a lot to improve her technique, and this time they even added choreography to her performance. I think she did a great job! Watch as she performs "Swingin'!", written by John David Anderson, and made famous by LeAnn Rimes.

Olivet Middle School Football Team 2013 - Kindness

These kids are definitely an inspiration! The video nearly brought me to tears. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
