iMedia: Chubby Cuppy Cake Boy (video)

I first came across this video when it was sent to my by a friend. I of course found it cute and humorous; I mean, who couldn't? The image of an exceedingly chubby little boy appearing to sing an adorable little love song would bring a smile to anybody's face. Well, that is, until the real story behind this little boy is revealed. After I had finished watching this video on youtube, another video of the same little boy popped up on my screen, so I decided to watch it. This video was of the little boy being on a talk show and informing people about the disease that he is living his life with. This disease causes him to swell up (hence his chubby cheeks), and is forcing him to live with the support of steroids which stunt his growth. After watching this video, I watched the "Chubby Cuppy Cake Boy" video again, but this time with a new perspective. Yes, the little boy was still cute, but this time I was inspired by him. It takes a brave person, especially a child, to take a life changing disorder and make something positive come of it. To me, this experience was a classic example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover; f you do, you will never know the greatness that could be hiding inside.
