Remember this firecracker?
This is Audrey. Some of you may recognize her from her dancing GIFs. I recently discovered she is quite the badass.
" Audrey Nethery has a rare disease called Diamond Blackfan Anemia."
Keep on dancing, Audrey!
Source: (Highly recommended! She has so much passion for a 7 year old) https://www.facebook.com/nbcnightlynews/videos/10154293962868689/
Edit: OMG you guys, front page! I'm so glad her story means more to us now than just the sassy singing kid :-)
Also, you guys brought my from "liked" to "renowned" in one day 0.o

She's so positive I love it!

How does that make her a badass?

Favorite part of this post was "You have to take a breath and say I can do this, and then you just do it!!" So awesome!
CellsReinvent
Her dad, Scott Nethery, has a YouTube channel with brilliant videos of Audreys song and dance extravaganzas. https://youtu.be/e-k0vhp37aM

Thank you for answering the age of that child!
ThatSpaceChimp
I keep on going because people like her. She's a rolemodel.

The amount of energy in her is inspiring.
arbyssauce
Fuck yea! She's a motherfucking badass.

Feel like OPs username is referring to this meme. Now everyone can jump ship and start telling others to not make fun of her. Haha
Davedavedavedavedave
This is what the internet is for. That, and videos of funny animals, and people hurting htemselves.

I sure hope as she grows older she can manage to hold onto that attitude.
Ansatsunin
If she's already got that attitude at this age, and parents who are supportive, she'll keep it.
zma123456
She seems pretty smart for her age
GeraldsNinjaStar
I've found that most people get dumber as they get older.
egonspenglersepididymis
The internet has made life better. Period.
IDontLikeSandItsCoarseAndRoughAndIrritatingAndItGetsEverywhere
Wow she is so incredibly positive and mature in her outlook. And she's only 7.
Makurai
It's BECAUSE she's only 7.
MexicanDad
My heart just melts when I see her. So adorable.
Lolzorski
Yeah! I fucking love that kid

Who doesn't man, my eyes are runny right now.

She kinda HAS TO keep her chin up tho
MarvLarv
I appreciate this.
FortressOfInsanity
She's an excellent role model and she doesn't even know it yet. I hope she has a very long life.
ParaBailarLaBamba
It's so weird. I'm about to go to bed and I needed a little encouragement because I have a big day tomorrow, the last gif made my night.
racerxonclar
And behind her, I would assume, is a pair of parents that have never given her a reason to doubt herself
BarfTittiesGalore
Cheers to the folks, of course! Lots of good all around with this story.
IsButtHurtACarb
That's pretty mean- obviously her life is going to be very short. But hopefully she lives to a very old age!!
Ansatsunin
No one paged for you, Captain Buzz Killington.
Anonsy
Considering her height, it'll probably be a very short one.

And my vote.

And thus begins thrones most boring plot line, God I hope this goes somewhere soon.
Thisaccountwillbethedeathofmysociallife
It doesn't have as much action as the other plot lines, but I'm still holding on. You can tell they're going somewhere good.
TragedyAtSummerhall
I never want to hear "You're not ready" from Jaquen or Waif ever again.
SomethingPotentiallyOffensive
Aryas story is way better in the books
Obijuankenohedidnt
There's just never been enough detail concerning her in the show. And they took out soooo much.
eff2b
Welp. Found another person who is better than me.
lemonfluff
She is 7. What she says is very wise but she might struggle to maintain it as she gets older. Try and use it to become the person you like.
eff2b
I gave up at about her age.
lemonfluff
You can always try and get back to how you want to be little by little. :)
eff2b
You are a very encouraging person. Have an upvote!
lemonfluff
Thanks friend! You have one too! What a lovely thing to say :)

I want to acknowledge the amazing parents she must have to help bring out the confidence in her.
Flyndaran
I tend to think that confidence can be damaged by parents far more than "embiggened". It's almost all her is what I say.
Equanimous
Wow. I never thought of it that way. My mother cut me down so much, & I wished she had "given" me confidence. Now I realize she took it away

Lol so sorry, it's the imgur app! It went all wonky on me. Apologies.

all good man lol
Ansatsunin
Well, that's typical. As kids, we're essentially biologically programmed to look up to and seek validation from our parents. When 1/?
Ansatsunin
they turn out to be narcissistic pieces of shit that lash us with their tongues, we only want that validation from them more and more, 2/?
Ansatsunin
and *never* learn to find it within, as the stinging barbs and the wounds they cause increase in severity and frequency.
sumowoman
My mom always talked about how kids have to be humble and not get too proud. Bitch, our patentse are alcoholic and we live in the forest>
sumowoman
> >It's not like we're aiming for the moon here. No need to cut us down every chance you get...
Ansatsunin
"Not get too proud?" Man, fuck that, and fuck them for telling you that as a child. Arrogance is bad, not personal pride found within.
