- Michelle Kish is 20 years old, but is regularly mistaken for a child. The reason? She suffers from an extremely rare genetic disorder called Hallermann-Streiff Syndrome which affects just one in 5 million people.
Michelle’s symptoms include a cranial-facial disorder, cataracts, and dwarfism. Here, she talks about her frustrations, as well as her career plans and what character traits she’d like in a boyfriend.

“She’s one of the happiest 20 year old I know” I felt that
Me to....me to
Mhm
OMG soooo right!!!😮
I did 2
Actually she has a very pretty blessed pure soul
She should be a voice actress for cartoons. I'm not making fun of her, I think it would bring her a lot of happiness. Her voice is delightful.
Purple Monkey I would watch that!
Yeet Yeetus totally!
That is..genius.. +1
Good suggestion..
Her voice is adorable like some people have high voices but her accent makes it so much cuter
I’m 24 and still don’t have a bf. We really do be out here. I hope you find love soon Michelle!
I will be ure boyfrend
Whats ure phon number plz

@@manmeetramandeep883 this response and your profile picture made me literally spit out the food I was eating.. thank you for making me laugh like that.
Her wanting a boyfriend so bad, is so sad, it breaks my heart
Dude me too.
Finding a good boyfriend is not easy in this world now...
Me too she says it in all her videos and it makes me so sad. I dont think she understands what actually goes on in relationships.
@@sophiamorrow1032 she probably never had one, she doesnt have to understand.
@@elsaken2840 i know
Her personal problems are not being able to ride the Six Flag rides, what a beautiful soul.

Her positivity levels are what we should all strive for.
tftm she’s happier than I am
Truth!
Yes, it would be easy for anybody to give up. It is people like her who inspire others, because they stay positive and tackle life no matter the state they are in!
MAH BOI!
Bless her
I’d love to hangout with her. She’s so sweet and funny. Also, don’t worry about the boyfriend thing. I can’t find one either!
I can't too 😓
Hell no she freaked me out for no reason
I don't even care anymore
Same her all of the bf I have were jerks so I’m done dating

Annarie Chea she’s twenty kid, u shouldn’t call her cute.
liars
Annarie Chea don’t call her cute when she’s a grown woman, it's infantilizing
It's really sad to see someone who has a rare condition but she is so confident and outgoing!
Fëarlëss Nightmarë true...
I love her spunk and the fact that she can be so smiley and sassy and funny despite the plethora of health conditions she has.
True
True I just hate that ppl are so judgefull and cruel.
If they had the confidence as hers well they wouldn't be so ugly like she's Beautiful
Only the way she looks those are just looks she sounds a nice loving woman who care about those around if that doesn't say your beautiful? Idk what does
Fëarlëss Nightmarë I would've killed myself
4:22 PERIOD😂😂😂😂 she has one of the best personalitys I have ever seen in my whole life, I can see me never getting bored when I'm around her
😂 you can tell her sister gets tried of it. Her sister does not like her that much is clear
Aaaww I really wanna be friends with her she seems so nice
Her Sister says "she is quite sassy" Michelle replies in the most sassy way possible: "no I'm not sassy!" 😂
PX Xaver Bout to say the same thing lol. I think she's just messing with her big sis tho. Kind of like when the doctor asks you if you have a hearing problem and you go huh?

im sorry but likeee.....
YOU LOOK SO FRICKING ADORABLE GOD BLESS YOU SOUL😭😭
Lilly Mc Carthy she should be a voice actor!
she's like a baby, so full life and adorable, I want to hug her and squeeze her cheeks 🥺💕
You see 👀, we should be thankful to the god for making us healthy. Like this gurl over here, she also has been blessed by god as well. All depends on god, god create us for a reason not simply do it by itself 🤮. Be happy and appreciate your own body, don't be a hater person and saying bad about your body. It doesn't make any senses at all 🙄. Appreciate it. Love you ❤😊
@@notyours5268 shes 20 tho? thats kinda insulting
@Lilly Mc Carthy yes, I'm saying from india
That part where she mentioned she wanted a boyfriend really badly, because she's already twenty and her sister had a boyfriend in highschool....
Girl I'm 22 and still have never had a relationship. Don't worry, he'll come when the time is right!
luvahadowsdolls every time a boy sees me he runs away, i never even want a boy friend cause i'm the "boy killer"
27 here and still single so there's still lots of time girls.. we're young and need to get to live a bit for ourselves x3
opalsheaba I think 27 years of living for urself is more then enough
luvahadowsdolls she won’t ever get a boyfriend lets be real😂
Virgin
WHY DOES SHE SEEM LIKE THE *NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD* I would love to meet her And I hope she finds a boyfriend😊 And someone who loves her for who she is.
maybe she will find someone who has the same condition like her who knows so she can know she isn't alone
l agree
Or she would find someone who genuinely enjoys her kind heart and humor y’all look for the worst
l Agree with you
Organic Trash *For who she is* :/
Oh my gosh, she's got so much sass (in a good way).
?
Thats a. Bit rude
if we should treat her normally then she is sassy, and sometimes people like that would rather be told they have not so good traits rather than people fakely say that they are perfect.
Her mom: “she’s just a happy child-YOUNG LADY” xD
When she said I look for a boy with long hair... period 😩 my heart melted ❤️

Ferris Meref 😂😂😂
Imagine being this disrespectful
Joshua Grimes it’s not disrespectful she literally said periodt???
Nooooo😭😭😭
She is so sweet I am so sorry for her I am crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I give all the love I have for you.❤
This young woman deserves the best things in life! I wish all the best for this lady and her family
"she's just a happy child... young lady." even her own parents can't get it right.
awaketogrey LOL
Parents always say child to their children. Also, 20 is not quite an adult yet.
Bruh my parents still call me a baby but I turn 18 soon, it’s just a parent thing
My mom calls me a child and im 22. I mean, my whole life i was one until 18. It's hard to forget me being a kid when it was a majority of my life
awaketogrey parents call their adult children their children all the time. Maybe we notice or watch more closely for social pc reasons.
Seeing her be so confident really show just how weak i really am
Bigzy Malone yup
Bigzy Malone She may be but doesn’t mean she’ll get a boyfriend
Word
lordisholy1 It’s true calm down buddy
Michael Myers Fan your messed up
That smile lights up the room. What a wonderful happy beautiful young lady.
Thank you for sharing your life - I love how upbeat you are. If you become an actress I'd love to see you perform. Your energy is wonderful.
I feel like she would be the coolest person to talk to

You are Awesome, And so is she!
She is probably managing her life better than half of us and she deals with issues better than half of us dealing with the issues we have cuz everybody has issues she is a inspiration to me from just watching her we could all learn a lot from her no matter what type of issues we have
You are rigjt
We all have issues to work through when I looked at this video I was very impressed with her what a strong young woman I really admire her wish I could have a little bit of her strength from within she is so strong and powerful
Awe. She is so sweet. God bless her!!! She never gives up! She has a strong resilience and positive attitude towards everything, very upbeat attitude! Very sociable and happy young woman!
I wish we had a friendship, she could teach me so much! She is so beautiful and strong. Her optimism and personality is so contagious!! 😊💕🐸💛

I lost it when she started laughing 😂 Such an infectious laugh, combined with a sassy attitude! I would definitely hang out with her. She's amazing! ❤

mad cope
What an amazing human being. A bundle of joy. Incredibly inspiring
I should never complain about life, this girl is so unfortunate but is amazing and an inspiration!
oh i know, same thoughts when i thought i had a bad hair day today and thought i looked weird, i jut see this and feel less bitchy
yeah, so many restrictions in her life but still somehow find the light of happiness
No, you can complain. Don't forget all the struggles you went through, it'll only make you a better person. It's human nature to self pity, but yeah I get your point... I should stop complaining about school or losing a video game, etc.
Nah, you can still complain. Doesn't make your problems any less of a problem
I was thinking the exact same thing
Tbh
Her voice is so CUTE
Ikr
Agree

I wanna see more of her. She is adorable!!!! And inspiring!! I wish she'd have her own youtube channel.
Man, she is a strongest, smart, comfortable, funny, amazing girl I ever know. Michelle, Michelle.. i love you ❤❤❤❤
I love how confident she is 😭💕
Me too! She is more confident than me. I feel sometimes depressed and very sad and this little young lady is so optimistic..Wow! But her condition is cruel sorry.

Title: I’m not a child I’m 20
Mum during the video: she’s just a happy child... young lady
😂❤️❤️such a strong family
Shannon’s Journey I was about to point that out
Strong? You can tell they're miserable having her as a burden.
Shannon’s Journey i saw that to
Cujucuyo sad to say...her family definitely loves her but they are def burnt out and miserable from having to take care of her all day everyday like this. Sucks.
Cujucuyo and my family are probably miserable with putting up with me going through cancer for three years doesn’t mean they aren’t strong ❤️👍
Wow such a tough young lady. She is very beautiful and she has a great personality. Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
Her great personality is definitely amazing, i applaud her parents as well, without a good support system she may not have such an incredible attitude. A loving family is so important to how one deals with hardship.
It has personality?
I hate the height limits at parks too
It's so sad when people are born without so much as a chance to live a normal life
But its nice to see someone so positive despite their condition
Absolute Inksanity ,
I really appreciate your thoughts.
Every body must have such noble thoughts.
From india
Absolute Inksanity their life might not be normal but its extraordinary
@@spiritanimates8338 its really not, there is nothing special about her life and you probably already forgot about her
She is surrounded with wonderful people and all of optimism - that's the best gift that many people dream of
She really is beautiful. Hope the best for you Michelle! Sending love💕
She's so smart and charismatic. Makes you look at your life and realize how good you really have it.
Alex if you have access to the internet and clean water you have it good.
Alex your full of shit if you think your water is bad go to anywhere in Mexico besides a resort or anywhere in Northern Africa. Then come talk.
She has a cute voice And she is a very very brave girl.
I know! She is adorable! lol
Get Shädman on this
Alyssa Scofield ikr she is amazing
i love her voice
Yes, its a brave little thing
i've watched another video of her i can say that she has a lot of positive energy i'm 23 years old and i feel a lot of pressure
having that kind of energy at 20 years old it's amazing her mom was right when she said that she is one of the happiest 20 years old personally she is the happiest one i've ever seen . she knows she's different but she don't treat herself differently she act like everyone witch amazing for someone that has that kind of differences
I am in love with her voice! ❤️
I want Michelle to know that she seems like Sunshine in human form because it's nearly impossible to be sad in the presence of sunshine. It naturally and effortlessly makes people happy. 🏵️
What are you talking about?
I know you think you were reaching depths there but it’s a bunch of unsophisticated dribble
My heart Melted when she kissed the dog
Crimson Diamonds you’re cruddy
It was so adorable!!
Awww she has two back up job's in case her dream job doesn't work out yes girl you have plans good for you !!!😍🤗🤗🤗You're awesome
Tonya Sims ikrrr! I don’t even have it all planned out yet smh
I think of being a itc specialist because so far I have got 1 witch is the bes in my schoo
But still sd
Good for her! Most gals our age don't even have a clue what they want to do with their careers. She seems like an awesome person with a head on her shoulders!
Tonya Sims koo
Love it! Thanks for posting.
I've been dealing with "bullying" for about 10 years. Just because I was so very much lonely, I couldn't get along with others. And right now there are so many people feeling lonely at school - that's a mess!!!!
I wouldn't want to RE-LIVE that once again!
Stay strong mate, here for you
I’m crying, not because I feel sorry for her because she’s making the best out of her life in the ways that she knows how without complaint or a sad disposition. She’s so full of life and joy and beauty. She made me smile and warmed my heart. Such a wonderful soul. And her family is wonderful and supportive. God placed an angel with them. She’s amazing! ❤️
Awe:) I agree wholeheartedly
Think about how many trivial things people complain and dwell upon nearly every day. Vanity...things like oh my god I have a grey hair, or I just seen a wrinkle this morning I have to look into botox. The list goes on and on. People get depressed about it, start acting irrationally going as far as having plastic surgery. Just imagine having this young woman's problems.
Rock The Casbah true
Yeah I pretty much started crying immediately. So beautiful... makes my issues feel so trivial and unnecessary.
Rock The Casbah for real i dont feel sorry for her. Im proud of her
Guys just sayin if I was a 20 year old woman who happened to have this medical condition I wouldn’t like a bunch of people calling me “aww so adorable” every comment...
I was thinking the same thing, but I don't think the people commenting that realize how condescending it can sound.
I agree, she is not a child anymore.
Yeah she has the personality of most 20 year old and she should be treated like one
martina max thank you for saying this random person on the internet
martina max Yeah. Even though it said in the title, many people still subconsciously think of her as a child.
Michelle is the most beautiful and adorable soul I have ever seen
She deserves all the happiness is the world❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the most inspirational story I have ever seen. Make your dreams come true
Bless her. So happy. I would definitely be her friend.
HomySwagYolo what do you mean, he didn’t spell it wrong
"the food stinks" (next shot) "she lights up people´s life" xD
lmaoooo
at least she told the truth
lol it was cute the way she said it.. i wouldn't get mad hearing it
It always amazes me how people with such huge challenges and have every reason to be bitter and hate the world seem to be the most happy people in the world. God bless her 🙏
michelle, you made my day!!!! prayers and greetings for you and your whole family.
I like to be a mermaid .. I freaking lost it there . She is so adorable I can'tttt

She’s just gorgeous, her voice is pure and brings joy to people’s lives. She knows she’s different then everyone else, but that never phases her, she’s so strong! :)
OH good, I just watched another upload of you and really wanted to leave a message for you I couldn't on that one. I just wanted to say how cute you are!!! you mentioned it in the other one and wow, one in 5 million.... that is how special you are!!! you captured my heart immediately, thank you for putting a huge smile on my face!!
"I would look for in a boyfriend long hair *pauses* Period!" 😂😂 I love it
She could pass as a good voice over actress for cartoons or some anime series, so I think thats a better choice.
WiseDude50 ye
Anime are cartoons.
Levente Simon there is a difference
Jacob Camerupt look. Anime is cartoon, it is just a separate category. Saying anime is not cartoon is like saying a cheeta isn't a cat. Anime is just the cringy type of cartoons.
+Levente Simon
No disrespect, I love both cartoons and anime
but cartoons are primarily made with children being the target audience,
while in anime the target audience varies a lot, its not just children, and the art style is clearly different.
I get what you mean by saying its a seperate category but I would rather be known as a person that watches anime then a person that watches cartoons.
She made me smile! What an attitude you go girl... self acceptance is everything
she literally has zero friends if she doesnt accept her self no one will in fact no else is LOLZ
It's amazing people like her that make the world a better place.
I wish Michelle all the best for future!
I feel like crying 😭 she’s so positive and it makes me sooooo happy 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Shut yo sensitive ass up
Oh wait I just cried
Isaac Morales never said the opposite tho
Riften Guard what do you mean
Isaac Morales well I didnt say she is pretty either
She seems like a sweet girl. I’ve been in and out of hospitals since I was a kid, but it’s people like her that put things into perspective to be grateful for what I have. I hope some advancement in medicine, as unlikely as that might be, is discovered that can help her
It's quite amazing how positive she is despite her condition. Her outlook on life makes my heart warm.
Aww hell yea my girls playing wizard101
Josh Boggs HAHA I NOTICED TOO. I WAS LIKE OMG
Lol nostalgia
