Never judge a book by its cover!
Julia Maritza Ceja is a blind, autistic school girl from Mexico who sings like an angel! She can't speak a word of English and learns the lyrics by sound alone!
Despite her disabilities and the language barrier, Julia has become an internet sensation after a video of her singing Dolly Partons' 'I will always love you" surfaced.
Her voice is almost otherworldly as she belts out a perfect rendition of the timeless love song, sounding almost identical to the late Whitney Houston, who covered the ballad in 1992.
Being a non English speaker, Julia has no idea what she is singing, learning the song by sounds alone and yet, she sings the words with so much emotion, you can't help but believe that music bridges language barriers entirely, uniting us all through love and emotion.
She uses her Facebook page as a platform to share her videos. Watch the mind blowing video here:
I am so inspired by this beautiful girl. This just proves the age old 'never judge a book by its cover' - as you never know what beauty lies between its pages.
