It was during these instances of extreme frustration and disappointment that Scout’s mother encouraged her son with “Fight Song” by singer Rachel Platten. 

Scout, in a surprise video call, confessed to the musician how he's been inspired by her song.

“I get it from the ‘Fight Song,’ Scout said. “Literally, it means so much to me.”

In the clip, singer Rachel Platten responds by telling the young man he has been selected for a unique purpose. 

“You are incredible,” she said. She then points out, “You know what? You are, you have a big mission in this life.”

“Ever since the car accident, I’ve been, like, ‘Well, I clearly have something really big to do, to work up to in my life,’” Scout states.

Rachel, through tears, states her wholehearted agreement with Scout’s statement.
