I love how she talks and express herself. And I love how she said I’d rather be the first Alma than the second Mozart. She’s amazing. She’s a miracle of life.
-
All these kids got something in common. Two loving supportive parents. Just think how many geniuses slipped thru the cracks. Awesome show!!
-
these kids are lucky to have their gifts respected. I always think about how many simlar kids were born into ignorance, and could never flourish
-
Alma & her parents are a beautiful group of old souls, traveling together, bringing out the best in each other. They are truly blessed.
-
This statement from Jack, when asked about his intelligence, really caught my attention “If you don’t have the creativity to put the knowledge to use then you just have a bunch of knowledge and nothing else”
-
Having been a “prodigy” child myself, and now struggling in life, I can confidently say that smartness does not make you successful, making good decisions and being emotionally strong is what makes you reach success
-
I love that Alma is so well adjusted to being a prodigy and a 10 year old… what an incredible young girl ❤❤
-
She is so blessed to have been born into a family that recognized and supported her talents. Can you imagine if she had different circumstances? What it would be like to have all this music inside of her and not being able to express it? It would be madness
-
Very impressive. When I was 12, I fell down a flight of stairs at school because were havingTacos for lunch and was way too excited. Broke both my wrists and a rib.
-
What I love the most for the musical genius and the young man working on the test for pancreatic cancer is their desire for a better world. God bless you both and your parents.
-
I am struck how confident Alma is, in a way that challenges adults. Her laugh is magical. Infectious, genuine, totally unpretentious
-
Much credit to the parents for recognizing her amazing gift and supporting her to reach her dreams!
-
I would love to see more programs like this celebrating people with amazing abilities.
-
Alma's music brings tears of joy to my eyes. I am a lifelong musician (classical voice and several instruments), and her creativity is awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this wonderful child's story with the world. I'm going to find her pieces online and buy them right now!
-
My jaw was on the floor this entire video. These kids are extraordinary, and give me hope for the future in a messed up world.
-
“I’d rather be a first Alma than a second Mozart” - oh, snap. She isn’t only talented, she is wise. Good for her!
-
Notice how these children are very well spoken for their ages, along with being extraordinarily gifted? Those are rare feats!
-
To the young man researching cancer.....I thank you so very much!! As a childhood cancer survivor 44 years and running.....you are already a lifesaver!!!
-
Jack is so inspiring to overcome doubters and lack of encouragement. These great kids give me renewed incentive to keep exploring, keep learning, keep questioning, and keep pursuing answers.
-
It's truly uncanny to see that amount of confidence, composure, and talent come from a 12-year-old.
