    I love how she talks and express herself. And I love how she said I’d rather be the first Alma than the second Mozart. She’s amazing. She’s a miracle of life.
  • Alma is now 18 and studying advanced composition and conducting. She will always be in demand as a musical director, it is very clear.
  • @CQ-369
    Alma & her parents are a beautiful group of old souls, traveling together, bringing out the best in each other. They are truly blessed.

    these kids are lucky to have their gifts respected. I always think about how many simlar kids were born into ignorance, and could never flourish
  • This statement from Jack, when asked about his intelligence, really caught my attention “If you don’t have the creativity to put the knowledge to use then you just have a bunch of knowledge and nothing else”
  • Having been a “prodigy” child myself, and now struggling in life, I can confidently say that smartness does not make you successful, making good decisions and being emotionally strong is what makes you reach success
  • @beckischreyer
    I love that Alma is so well adjusted to being a prodigy and a 10 year old… what an incredible young girl ❤❤
  • @Ximena-Long
    She is so blessed to have been born into a family that recognized and supported her talents. Can you imagine if she had different circumstances? What it would be like to have all this music inside of her and not being able to express it? It would be madness
  • @bkaiser8367
    All these kids got something in common. Two loving supportive parents. Just think how many geniuses slipped thru the cracks. Awesome show!!
  • What I love the most for the musical genius and the young man working on the test for pancreatic cancer is their desire for a better world. God bless you both and your parents.
  • @xavierowino
    I am struck how confident Alma is, in a way that challenges adults. Her laugh is magical. Infectious, genuine, totally unpretentious
  • “I’d rather be a first Alma than a second Mozart” - oh, snap. She isn’t only talented, she is wise. Good for her!
  • Alma's music brings tears of joy to my eyes. I am a lifelong musician (classical voice and several instruments), and her creativity is awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this wonderful child's story with the world. I'm going to find her pieces online and buy them right now!
  • I would love to see more programs like this celebrating people with amazing abilities.
  • @mwest3583
    It's truly uncanny to see that amount of confidence, composure, and talent come from a 12-year-old.
  • @qbtc
    Here are some updates on our prodigies: Alma is still creating beautiful symphonies at age 18. Magnus Carlsen is now in his early 30's and considered by many the greatest chess player in history. Jake Barnett is still pursuing a PhD in physics at age 25 which is the age most ordinary people are working to obtain theirs though he had a huge head start on them. Jack Andraka's pancreatic cancer test still has not gained any traction after 11 years of testing but he is a Machine Learning engineer at Stanford.
  • @Mattnova_116
    Notice how these children are very well spoken for their ages, along with being extraordinarily gifted? Those are rare feats!
  • @Slakker79
    Amazing. I lost my grandma in 1990 and my dad in 2021 both of pancreatic cancer. It’s nice to see that early detection might finally be available.
  • @rfgator5364
    Much credit to the parents for recognizing her amazing gift and supporting her to reach her dreams!
  • @meknotewe8155
    To the young man researching cancer.....I thank you so very much!! As a childhood cancer survivor 44 years and running.....you are already a lifesaver!!!
