1.Hardly did I imagine that I was about to see something I would never forget in the concert held in Kentucky University.
They introduced the young musician-Mr.Patrick Henry.He was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano.His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music.
About ten minutes into Patrick'performance,someone came on the stage and said,"I'd like to share a seven-minute video about Patrick Henry."Then the lights were turned down.
Patrick Henry was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joint(關(guān)節(jié)),which left him disabled for life.However,he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair.Before his first birthday,he discovered the piano.His mom said,"I could hit any note on the piano,and within one or two tries,he'd get it."By his second birthday,he was playing records people asked for.His father was ecstatic."We might not play baseball,but we can play music together."
Today,Patrick is a junior.His father attends classes with him and he's made nearly all A's.He's also a part of 214-member marching band.He's a blind,wheelchair-bound trumpet(小號) player,he and his father do it together.In order to attend Patrick's classes and every band practice,his father worked the night shift(輪班)at United Parcel Service.Patrick says,"My dad is my hero."
On stage,between songs,Patrick talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was,"God made me musical gifts and the great opportunity to meet new people."
When the performance was over,the crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
