    If You Had a Feeling That the 13-Year-Old Who Brought Simon Cowell to His Feet Had a Strong Faith, You’ll Want to Read On



    Thirteen-year-old Rion Paige was in gym class one day when she noticed a fellow classmate pulling a prank on students. Her friend was playfully running around and ripping the shoes off unsuspecting peers, seemingly benign shenanigans.
    But Rion has a physical disability that has left her wrists at 90 degree angles. Getting shoes on and off, then, is a chore. No matter. The classmate proceeded to rip the sneakers right off Rion’s feet anyway, leaving her a difficult task in the wake of the prank.
    But she loved it.
    Yes, you read that right.
    “She came to take my shoes. She did it to me — she didn’t realize I needed help,” Rion told TheBlaze with excitement booming in her voice.

    In other words, the classmate didn’t see Rion through the lens of her disability. The act was an equal opportunity (and she says not mean-spirited) prank.
    It’s that outlook that made America fall in love with the young girl earlier this month when she brought the judges — and likely most of the country — to their feet during her audition on “The X Factor.”

    Surprised by success


    As TheBlaze previously reported, Rion suffers from arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a disease that has left her wrist joints deformed. She’s also nearly blind in her right eye. Singing, though, has been her therapy, using it to both confront and process her struggles.
    It was clear from the start of our conversation that Rion was stunned by the attention her story received — she could hardly believe the the viral attention it has been given. When we told her that TheBlaze’s initial story has been “liked” over 150,000 times on Facebook, alone, she couldn’t believe it.


    In just a few short minutes, Rion showed the world that she has overcome her disability — one that she refuses to be defined by. But while you may already know her talents, your knowledge of the spunky teen likely stops there. That’s probably partly because for such a young phenom, Rion is hard to track down. After numerous attempts through numerous channels, we finally got her and her mom on the phone. And if you thought her voice was incredible, just wait until you hear about her life and what sustains her.

    “That’s crazy,” she said, exuding the same excitement and joy for life that was evident on “The X Factor” stage.
    Considering her unceasing positivity, we couldn’t help but begin by asking Rion her secret to keeping so upbeat. After all, her maturity and spunk in light of the barriers she faces is inspiring. And while some might have assumed that the young girl was putting on a show with her smiles and demeanor on television, it quickly became clear that Rion was entirely genuine.
    “It sounds like it’s really complicated, but not, honestly: I go to church,” she said. “I let God do it through me. It’s not something I try to do — it’s something that comes out of me.”
    Overcoming Her Struggles
    Despite Rion’s positivity, the teen said that she’s not entirely immune to feeling down. Like anyone else, she has her bad days too. But if her “X Factor” performance is any indicator — and her mother, Alisa, claims it is — the teenager puts most adults to shame when it comes to her outlook on life.
    It was clear from my interview with the young woman that she’s truly extraordinary, possessing wisdom, knowledge and experience that exceeds other kids her age. Perhaps it’s her struggles that have given her this insight — an ability to discern good character in others, while also refining her own outlook based on the barriers she’s so boldly overcome.
    “There’s days where I’ve struggled with [it], but it never takes me long to get over it,” explained Rion. “You don’t need to sit in your own filth for long because then you get depressed.”
    Truer words never spoken. And she should know, as Rion has been forced to confront some scenarios that others her age have never even dreamed of.



    “You don’t need to sit in your own filth for long because then you get depressed.”



    While she has continued to bravely overcome the limitations associated with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, it isn’t always easy, particularly when it comes to some of the “simple” tasks that we all take for granted.
    “I needed extra help with my locker and carrying textbooks,” she said.
    Her mother also noted that simple tasks like opening the blinds pose a problem for the teen. But not all challenges are physical.
    Rion regularly encounters other kids her age who have questions about her hands. What happened? Were you born with that?
    What’s wrong with you?



    Those are just some of the questions that the singer has fielded over the years. She told TheBlaze that people have even told her that she looks weird — something that certainly stings. But Rion, who is now in 8th grade, takes the questions and curiosities in stride.
    “You’ve just got to shake it off,” she said, noting that she lets people know, “I’m cool — I’m just like you.”






    When one considers what most 13-year-olds are saying and doing, Rion’s different. She’s not only wise, but she has an inherent ability to understand not only her circumstances, but the gravity of the challenges that come along with them.
    “You have to be accepting of yourself, which is a difficult thing, especially when you’re 13 and a girl,” she said, leaving me in a bit of awe.
    Sure, adults know that it’s difficult to be a young girl, especially in today’s society. But for a teen to realize it the way an adult looking back at her childhood would is certainly uncommon.
    “It says in the Bible that we’re created in Jesus’ image — and I am,” Rion added.



    “It says in the Bible that we’re created in Jesus’ image — and I am.”
