About 15 years ago, Richard Sandrak, who moved from Ukraine to the United States, was called the strongest boy in the world.
Richard started to exercise seriously when he was just a child. And at the age of 8 he could bench-press with more than 30 pounds! At 11 years of age he lifted 53 pounds!
Now he’s 24 years old and it’s hard to call him a jock.
Once he was given the nickname «Little Hercules», he was constantly invited to competitions, TV-shows, commercials, magazines and even movies. That’s why Richard’s family moved to California, so the son could fully realize himself.
Training, nutrition, regime — these points were monitored by the boy’s father — a former world champion in martial arts. Very often the man was criticized for abusing his son and putting a lot of pressure on him.
And when Richard was 11 years old, he called the police when his father assaulted his mother. The man was put in jail for domestic violence.
The boy stopped communicating with his father and no longer recognized him. For a while he was still practicing, but gradually it became less and less.
At the moment Richard says: «I am very proud of my achievements as a child, I am not ashamed of them and I do not try to hide this page of my life from anyone. And he adds: «I just don’t want to live like that anymore.» «They tried to make me look like some kind of abomination of nature.»
Now Richard continues to exercise, but not as fanatically. He runs every morning and also likes skateboarding. By profession, he is a stuntman at the show «Waterworld» in Los Angeles, where he is set on fire at least five times a day, and then he has to dive into the water from a great height.
Once he was asked what he wanted to be, his answer was surprising: «A scientist, doing quantum physics… or an engineer at NASA. Why not»?
The woman entered the hospital with a blanket covering what everyone assumed was a child, but as she disclosed what she had brought, the doctors and nurses fell silent. Take a look at what she hid:
Shelby Hennick, a 21-year-old lady, went viral after making a touching gesture for her grandma, who was in serious condition in the hospital.
The woman’s grandmother had been suffering from lung problems and was in pain. Her only relief was the wish to see Patsy, her dog, whom she had missed terribly during her hospital stay.
Shelby went above and beyond to devise a crafty scheme to bring a smile to her grandmother’s face.
She planned to wrap Patsy in a blanket and sneak her into the hospital so her grandmother could see her beloved dog again. However, the hospital’s tight rules prohibited dogs, leaving the grandmother depressed.
Shelby utilized her expertise as a veterinarian to calm the worried pup, who was originally highly restless and disturbed, before continuing on the dangerous tour. Shelby appeased Patsy and slipped her into the hospital unannounced with a delicate touch and gentle words.
The surprise reunion was a huge success, and the grandmother was ecstatic to see Patsy again finally. Shelby’s care and love for her grandma not only improved the grandmother’s day but also touched the hearts of millions worldwide, who have since complimented Shelby’s consideration and love for her grandmother.
Shelby strolled boldly inside the hospital, Patsy disguised beneath a blanket. Despite the look of a hidden baby, Patsy was her beloved dog.
Her sudden entrance into the room startled Shelby’s grandmother. Patsy was coming to see her, and she had no idea. Shelby finally unveiled her furry pet, which delighted the grandmother. The expression of love brought the grandmother to tears.
Others were encouraged to share their happy stories when they shared them on Facebook. A stranger commented that he, too, had taken his grandfather’s dog to see him in the hospital, despite the difficulties in getting it in.
