I Am Potential: Patrick Henry Hughes

Patrick Henry Hughes was born with a rare genetic disorder that left him without eyes and physically disabled. But he was also blessed with exceptional musical talent—able to play the piano as a toddler and now, at age 19, a nationally known pianist, singer, and trumpeter who has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the Kennedy Center. Currently hes a member of his college marching band, playing while his devoted father pushes him in his wheelchair. With determined optimism and courage, Hughes has made I am potential his mantra and defied the impossible at every turn.

Now, for the first time, Hughes and his father share the full account of his extraordinary journey. In I Am Potential, Hughes recounts the eight critical lessons he has learned that are at the heart of his success, including When Life Gives You Lemons, Accept Them and Be Grateful and Do All You Can to Change What You Can. Uplifting and revealing, I Am Potential is remarkably inspirational for anyone facing challenges in their own life.

Thank you for presenting this video, so that we can see, first hand, a phenomenal, human spirit.

This is really inspiring. I will show this to my children to show them that nothing is impossible. It's sad to hear and see normal people keep telling me they cannot do this and that. Thanks Patrick!

@FuzzyAlpacasAreFuzzy I'd say this man in the video is your intellectual superior many times over. you are the "retard", especially since you probably didn't even watch enough of this video to realize his handicaps are purely physical. Get back to your Barbie dolls.

[AngryScissor]

@FuzzyAlpacasAreFuzzy Except he doesn't have any mental handicap. His disabilities are completely physical.
