Our friend, vehicle engineer Richie Parker at Hendrick Motorsports, is a
huge inspiration to us every day.
Watch to learn about his story:
GOD BLESS HIM & HIS PARENTS…. I THINK HIS PARENTS ARE SOMETHING ELSE…
THAT’S ALL CAN REALLY SAY… I DON’T REALLY KNOW IF I COULD MENTALLY
PREPARE MYSELF FOR SOMETHING SO LIFE ALTERING LIKE THIS…. BUT IT IS JUST
SO AMAZING TO ME HOW PEOPLE JUST PERSEVERE….

I show this video to my students all the time, especially when they are
down on their luck and they believe they can’t achieve measurable success
for themselves. This video starts to change their mindset about their
current situation. Great resource!
Powerful! How could anyone in this world give this video a thumbs down?
Heartless human beings.
What an inspiration and role model for others facing serious handicaps.
Never give up!
I feel very ridiulous right now complaining about small issues. One can
only pray for the fortitude he has.
How does he wipe his but? Do you think it’s just dirty all the time?
Very inspiring story. I’m just perplexed about the 347 thumbs down. I know
that people are entitled to vote how they choose but what are they exactly
disliking?
Puts it all in #perspective! Don’t ever give up on your students, no matter
what. Believe in them and help them get through all of lifes challenges.
Great story. Sometimes we lose touch with what we are all already capable
of.
It is like the story of Moses leading the Isrealites out of Egypt, he ask
God how he is going to lead across the Red Sea, and God says, look in your
hands. This is true with everyone, you already have it in your hands
The always complaining people are disliking Richie’s courage, creativity,
capacity, sagacity and hapiness.
This is awesome, words just cannot express…. Just amazing. His parents
deserve recognition for being fantastic, too.
Amazing intelligence and dexterity.
SO…You think you’ve got it tough, right?

Incredible, since he was a child he was designing and engineering and it
eventually landed him a dream job. Hard work and perseverance.
that is pretty incredibly:)
Just amazing for Richie
Some things should drive you…”crazy!” Watch this and think about what
drives you. #PastorG http://youtu.be/qiLDMBDPCEY
Gives new meaning to “I can do anything”. This @SportsCenter feature is
worth watching!!
Lot’s of respect for this guy.

If only we were all this determined…
Wow! With all the racial tensions going on right now it is so refreshing to
see a story filled with positiveness! Richie proves that all excuses in
life are worthless! No one can use the excuse that they cant be successful
because of this or that! Richie proves that excuses truly are like
assholes. Everyone has one and some stink worse than others!
I was raised by a single mother and although she did the best she could, we
lived well below the poverty level. We lived on the outer edge of the
ghetto because thats all she could afford. I started life out behind the
eight ball financially, but I was determined not to use the excuse that I
couldnt do something because I came from a poor family. I am the only one
of five children that graduated from high school. I then went on to college
and graduated. I paid for my entire college education by myself because my
mom couldnt afford to help. While I am far from rich; I own my own house
and make a modest 50K/year.
I am nothing special and if I can do it, then anyone one can. Coming from
my background; I am truly humbled by Richie’s story. I get so tired of
hearing people say that they are being kept down and they cant succeed
because of some excuse. That is total BS and they know it. Apply yourself!
Get an education! Go to college! And most important; stay away from
negative influences (i.e. drugs, people who use drugs, people who are
criminals). They will only hold you back from reaching your full potential!
Amazing!
Inspiring story indeed. Everybody can be something great in life as long as
they put their mind on the goal, put their heart to it and put their hands
to work hard to get it.

Great “There´s not much that i can´t do, just things that i haven´t done
yet”

How Do You Get Through Your Day?
When you need some inspiration because you may be stuck in a rut. Remember
Yahshua (Jesus) can give anyone the will and strength to make it through
anything. Halleli-Yah. Richie is blessed.
What is the song in the last couple seconds of this video
For fuck’s sake, what’s the point of even living if you’re this deformed.
You have to strive incredibly to do even the simplest of tasks, and your
life is filled with hardship, disappointment, and misery. This is why
euthanasia should be a common practice for extreme cases like this man.
I love this story!
GOD IS SO AMAZING HE IS DEFIANTLY A GO GETTAH VERY AMAZING STORY MY
GOODNESS. SEE HOW DETERMINED YOU CAN BE WHEN PEOPLE LIMIT YOU TREAT YOU
DIFFERENTLY UNDERESTIMATE YOU!!!
outstanding individual

God bless this young man, he has a lot of faith and that is what moves
mountains and makes and keeps you strong… god bless you richie..
Sometimes SportsCenter is heavy handed and overdoes pieces. Not this time.
I hope I can remember Richie Parker the next time I’m frustrated with a
tool in my hand.
does anyone know whether there’s a connection with:

His parents loved him from day one, I’ve no doubt. The whole family are
admirable.
I would also add that there are other, hidden, disabilities which are
harder to understand and therefore harder to feel sympathy for. Please
think about those people too.
What’s holding you back from your dreams?

The amazing story of Richie Parker. A man who does more with his feet than
most do with their hands:
Happy Happy Birthday Richie! May God Bless You and Your Family! I am so
happy that you are part of the Team Hendrick Family!
Happy Birthday, Richie P.! You are the light that shines ever so brightly
just by being who you are. Namaste.
Whoa!! My email signature “if you want to see a miracle of God, look at me”
REALLY REALLY should be for Richie. To God Be The Glory!
