    She is beautiful, smart, talented and our hope for the future!

    I believe that there are others like her out there and we must find, encourage and teach them so
    the world can be a better place.

    My own experience tells me so…Phyllis Phillips

    It is real interesting. With my 59 years old I have never heard of child with such talent. She needs to be sent to a special school to develop her talents.
