Ben Underwood is a truely amazing young man. He has really taught me how to appreciate the things that other people don't have. Like my sight. I wear glasses and I complain about that, not even thinking that other people can't see. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see anything. I would have a meltdown. But Ben is very blessed. And I think that we all need to be thankful about what we do have than what we don't. I want to thank Ben, for opening up my eyes. I saw him on Oprah yesterday, And I cried because I was so ungrateful. And he's no different than anybody. I am amazed at how many things he can do and not have vision. I respect how strong Ben is. His mother is doing a great job. Raising a good man. I may only be 16 but even I can tell that this boy is amazing. I would love to meet him one day.- Sharita

Actually somebody is doing a good job with you because 1. you are on Free Republic at your age. I truly hope you learn something (about conservatives, Republicans, and Libertarians) and 2. You have realized you need to be grateful for what you do have, your freedom, your health, ability to have an education, etc, etc.

Hi, welcome to FR. I know the people.aol link has a video but I cannot watch it due to my computer. However I wanted to tell you about this YouTube video that features Ben. Maybe you have already seen it or it might be the same one at people.aol. Anyway, this is amazing:

I just can't get over that he can play video games! And he can hear the difference between a car and a pick-up truck. Wow!
