You are so wrong English Patriot,

I am with Megan L, Jeri above also puts it perfectly, "It's how they play the hand they're dealt."

The youngster's condition, which as you say he has no choice in, is not the issue, it's in his attitude to that condition that he exercises choice. He could just cave in to it and feel sorry for himself. Instead he chooses to show spirit, resolve, courage and heroism, every time he smiles.
