When Jessica Summers was born, doctors said she would never speak.

But Sunday, the 18-year-old sang the national anthem to open up the session of the Cal Ripken Southwest Regional Championship in Maumelle.

Today's THV first introduced you to Jessica last year, when she graduated high school and accepted a scholarship to UCA.

Her voice is great, but what makes this even more impressive, Jessica has autism.

This spring, Jessica wrapped up her freshman year at UCA.

She and her mom also travel the country to autism conferences so they can share their amazing story.
