Autism Teaches Us! "Andrew's Song"

Autism Teaches Us!

A young boy living with Autism gave me a great lesson many years ago. The world’s largest Crucifix is in my hometown. Our friend’s son, Andrew, loved visiting this Cross in the Woods and kept asking his parents to take him to see It, over and over. He was fixated on the Cross and even collected manger scenes as well. We often want to help others who live with Autism be more like the rest of us. This boy’s thirst for the Cross made me think, maybe we should strive to be more like him. I wrote the following song about the lesson this amazing young man gave me. It’s called, “Andrew’s Song”

“Andrew’s Song"

They say, that he was born different.
He is not like you and me, and may not fit in society.
They say, that he is not normal.
His brain doesn’t work like yours, and yet there is no known cure.
But he says, Mom and Dad, will you take me to see, the Big Cross in the woods.
Oh I, wish I was more different, I wish I wasn’t so normal,
I wish I was more like Andrew, I wish I felt more like he does.
They say, he has trouble relating, to the outside world we’re in,
He doesn’t understand his own feelings.
They say, he has weird attachments, to certain objects as he grows,
That might fade away when he’s old,
But now he says, Mom and Dad, will you take me to see, the Big Cross in the woods.
Oh I, wish I was more different, I wish I wasn’t so normal,
I wish I was more like Andrew, I wish I felt more like he does.
We should all be more different, much more less normal.
Take a lesson from Andrew, and be more like him,
A whole lot more like him, A whole lot more like him!

AGT Winner Kodi Lee Sings 'You Are The Reason' Duet With Leona Lewis

Inspirational America’s Got Talent winner Kodi Lee performs a beautiful duet of ‘You Are The Reason’ with Leona Lewis. Leona originally recorded this song with Calum Scott, a former Britain’s Got Talent contestant. It quickly skyrocketed to the top of the charts and remains a favorite for artists all over the world to cover. Today, Kodi Lee is stepping into Calum’s shoes for an unforgettable rendition of this hit song. “I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Oh, 'cause I need you to see That you are the reason” The world first fell in love with Kodi Lee after his touching audition on America’s Got Talent. We learned from his mother that Kodi is blind with autism. But music completely transforms Kodi and he can truly block out the noise of the world and be at peace. His first performance even earned the coveted golden buzzer from judge Gabrielle Union. Week after week, he moved the world with his brilliant covers and beautiful piano-playing. A front-runner the entire competition, everyone cheered when Kodi Lee was announced as the winner of the fourteenth season of AGT. Now, this inspirational young man will headline a show in Las Vegas along with other special guests from the show. Kodi Lee is truly an act like no other and I have a feeling that we will be seeing his name for a long time to come. Were you rooting for this young man to win?

African Youth Choir Puts Their Own Spin On 'Africa' From Toto

The talented Ndlovu Youth Choir performs a unique rendition of ‘Africa’ from Toto on America’s Got Talent. We first met this inspiring choir during their audition for the fourteenth season of AGT. The choir was created in 2009 as a creative outlet for kids in South Africa. Led by artistic director Ralf Schmitt, this talented group has gained a following all over the world. On their Facebook, it states that “the choir seeks to deliver an experience of infectious joy, a toe-tapping and energetic South African music ranging from Afro-Pop classics to traditional South African music and original compositions irresistibly combined with mesmerizing choreography.” With their special style of sound and over-the-top performances, this choir provides hope and inspiration to the members and listeners. Their first performance easily impressed the judges with their energetic presentation of an original song, ‘My African Dream.’ The blend of vocal talent with dance truly makes this an audition to remember. Week after week, this incredible group has entertained the world with their unique numbers. Now, they’ve made it all the way to the finals and they are not holding anything back. Just listen as they belt out the words to the classic song ‘Africa’ from Toto. In perfect unison, these members sway across the stage in their brightly colored outfits and one-of-a-kind sound. I know this performance must have taken so much hard work and practice to pull off, but the result is absolute perfection. Who else is in awe of the Ndlovu Youth Choir?

The Intoxication of Success

Everyone wants to succeed, wants to make a name for himself in the world, but why does it happen that only 2-3 people out of 100 reach the pinnacle of success?

Why is it that despite getting the same opportunity, some people take advantage of it and some people get lost in the crowd like the rest?

All these questions have only one answer - intoxication!

How to Stop Wasting Time?

Life - This is a word that has many meanings. For anyone, life is just a journey in which to keep going and to complete the journey. So life is very important for someone who has met only once and has to use it very well.

Child Opera Singer Emanne Beasha Performs 'La Mamma Morta'

Dazzling opera singer Emanne Beasha returns to the America’s Got Talent stage for a jaw-dropping performance of ‘La Mamma Morta.’ We first fell in love with young Emanne earlier this season after her audition floored the world. She impressed the judges with her big voice and bold performance of the opera classic ‘Nessun Dorma.’ Even though she was full of nerves, this Florida native was able to shake off the jitters and deliver a vocal moment that showcased her positive personality and unique sound. Her second performance was an enchanting rendition of ‘Caruso’ that led guest judge Jay Leno to press his golden buzzer. After two more performances, including an unlikely opera rendition of “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” from Bryan Adams, Emanne cemented her place in the finals. Now, she’s taking the stage for the last time in this competition and she’s not holding anything back. Just listen as she beautiful belts out the words to ‘La mamma morta’ from Act 3 of Umberto Giordano’s opera, Andrea Chénier. This 1896 opera classic in the play by the character Maddalena di Coigny to Gérard. The emotional song tells the story of how Maddalena’s mother died while protecting her during the French Revolution. This tune has so much history and depth, but Emanne portrayed a full range of emotion using just her vocals. There’s no doubt that this young talent has a gift for singing. From the very beginning, Emanne has stood out among the pack. She will certainly be a name we see for years to come.

22-year-old Kodi Lee returns to the America’s Got Talent stage for a stunning finale performance of ‘Lost Without You.’ We first fell in love with this viral sensation after his incredible first audition. Before his performance, we learned that Kodi is blind with Autism. But music has completely changed Kodi’s life and allows him to truly express himself in a whole new way. After Kodi’s performance of Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You," judge Gabrielle Union was moved to press her golden buzzer. Week after week, we’ve been touched by Kodi’s ability to overcome and thrive. Now, he’s made it all the way to the finals and he isn’t holding anything back. Just listen as he belts out the emotional words to ‘Lost Without You’ from Freya Ridings. “Standin' on the platform Watching you go It's like no other pain I've ever known To love someone so much To have no control You said, "I wanna see the world" And I said, "Go"” As Kodi’s gifted voice belts out these words, I am in awe of this young man’s strength and courage. He has truly come so far in this competition and this performance showcases every bit of that. “But I think I'm lost without you I just feel crushed without you I've been strong for so long That I never thought how much I needed you I think I'm lost without you” America’s Got Talent introduced us to this inspiration performer, but I have no doubt that we will be seeing this name for a long time.

What Would You Do Cameras Capture Reactions When Child Rips Up Cash

‘What Would You Do?’ is a popular hidden camera television show hosted by John Qui'ones. The show is notable for putting strangers in difficult situations and then recording their reactions. Each episode gives us a glimpse into the response of the public, which can be unpredictable from respond from episode to episode. Sometimes, there is anger while other times there may be a flood of tear. Many of the episodes are inspired by real life events or news stories. In today’s world, many kids are not familiar with the concept of paper money. As more people utilize plastic cards and electronic payments, the use of cash has drastically dropped. And, in some cases, children do not know the value of these ‘pieces of paper.’ This episode of What Would You Do starts with a child actor and a woman portraying her mother. They are sitting in a café when the mother excuses herself to visit the restroom. That’s when the young girl finds cash in her mom’s wallet and decides to rip it up and make confetti. Nearby patrons notice the shocking moment and their reactions are recorded. Some people try to physical stop the actress while others just look on in disbelief. It was truly an eye-opening moment that is all too real. This episode reminds us all to teach our children and grandchildren the importance of paper money. Even if it is seldom used, it is still a vital part of our society. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Jeopardy Host Alex Trebek Starts Second Round Of Chemotherapy

Longtime Jeopardy host Alex Trebek reveals that he is undergoing a second round of chemotherapy after health setback. In March of 2019, beloved television personality Alex Trebek announced to the world that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. But he pledged to continue hosting Jeopardy and mustering up all of his strength to defeat the grim diagnosis. The 79-year-old inspired viewers by opening up about the realities of cancer and the treatment he is undergoing. After finishing his first round of chemotherapy, Alex was making great progress and shifted to immunotherapy. Sadly, his numbers skyrocketed and doctors informed the host that he would need to undergo another round of chemo. But, just as he always has, Alex is taking every moment in stride and keeping an optimistic attitude. In fact, he hasn’t missed one single day of work since his diagnosis. “I talk to the audience sometimes and I get teary-eyed for no reason. I don’t even bother to explain it anymore, I just experience it. I know it's a part of who I am and I just keep going.” And when it comes to facing the future, Alex opened up saying, "I realize that there is an end in sight for me, just as there is for everyone else. One line that I have used with our staff in recent weeks and months is that when I do pass on, one thing they will not say at my funeral is, 'Oh, he was taken from us too soon.' Hey guys. I’m 79-years-old." This inspiring man is certainly in our thoughts and prayers during this time.

Powerhouse Vocalists Richard And Adam Perform 'The Power Of Love' On BGT

Classical singers Richard and Adam return to the Britain’s Got Talent stage for an inspiring performance of ‘The Power Of Love.’ We first met these two brothers when they audition for Britain’s Got Talent back in 2013. The former sandwich shop workers and cruise ship performers stunned the theater with their powerful rendition of ‘The Impossible Dream.’ After finishing in third place, the duo went on to release a number one album in the UK. Now, they are back on the stage that started in all as contestants on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions. This special format features 45 competitors from all of the Got Talent franchises. For six weeks, these all-stars will battle it out to see who will be crowned the ultimate champion. The list of contenders includes past winners, finalists and fan-favorites. Just listen as Richard and Adam belt out the words to ‘The Power Of Love’ from Frankie Goes to Hollywood. “The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on burnt desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal” These brothers gave this classic pop song an opera makeover and it’s truly unlike anything I’ve heard before. Now, we’re all reminded how Richard and Adam made it so far in the competition the last time. It was so amazing to see this duo back on stage as successful and seasoned performers. They have certainly come a long way since their initial audition and I have no doubt that they will continue to climb.

Neighbor's Kind Gesture For Young Boy With Down Syndrome Goes Viral

Faith in humanity was officially restored after one neighbor’s simple gesture for a boy with Down Syndrome went viral. Six-year-old Finn enjoys walks with his family. He especially loves to look at all the flags blowing in the win. His mom, Brooke, said, "If it's moving, if the wind is blowing, he would sit there for an hour and just watch the flag go back and forth, which is kind of the beauty of Finn, too." But one flag, in particular, always seemed to catch Finn’s eye. Neighbor Todd Disque has a beautiful American flag mounted on a tree. The flag hangs overtop of the very sidewalk that Finn uses for his family walks. He would always stop to look at the mesmerizing display. Sometimes, he would even sit down on the sidewalk and just stare. Todd noticed the interaction and decided that Finn needed a more suitable place to rest. That’s when he built a wooden stool just for the boy and placed it beside the tree. When Finn was on one of his neighborhood walks, the simple stool brought his mother to tears. "It's such a small gesture, but things like this really restore your faith in humanity. Like, there's still good people out there that want to do kind things for no other reason than just to be kind." It’s moments like these that truly remind us how something so small can make the biggest impact on others. Let us use this beautiful display to inspire us in our own acts of kindness.
