From Louisiana meet 8 year old, Addyson Marie Valentine. Addyson’s favorite quote is “You must do things you think you cannot.” – Eleanor Roosevelt.
Addison does things every day that she has been told she cannot do from dance, to cheer, modeling in New York Fashion week, to competing today in the United States Emissary Pageant. Being legally blind has not slowed this dynamo down. This quote reminds her to keep proving everyone wrong and continue to reach her goals. One thing you may not know about Addison is that even though she is legally blind, she’s a pretty good gymnast and even better tumbler. She is currently on a competitive team and competes all-around in vault, bars, balance beam and floor exercise.
