Young Musician with a Physical Disability Inspires with His Determination and Perseverance

Not every situation in life is a reason to jump for joy or a cause for celebration. In fact, many times, it will be quite the opposite. There will be immensely painful experiences and circumstances that result in intense grief and heartache.

Additionally, if you’re not already aware, life is not fair. For whatever reason, some people seem to have been dealt a much more difficult hand. They come against more than what feels like their fair share of troubles and hardships. Some people will endlessly complain about their present circumstances, believing the world is against them. But then other people persevere; no matter what life throws at them, they rise to and meet that challenge. Isaac Ramos belongs firmly in the latter category.

As the video posted on YouTube points out, Isaac was born with a deformed left arm. However, he has not let that stop him from playing not one but four instruments. He uses a custom-fitted prosthetic, which allows him to play the drums, the guitar and the violin. The middle school student also plays the piano, but as he demonstrates in the clip, he does not wear it when tickling the ivories.

“There’s challenges that may stop me sometimes, but I’ve always learned to overcome them even if it takes a little more,” Isaac said. “At the end, it’s all worth it.”

But music isn’t the only place where Isaac succeeds and impresses. His teachers and school principal praised his character and performance in the classroom.

What a truly impressive and inspiring young man!

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”
