Credit :

On Wednesday night's episode of "Wheel of Fortune," Trenton "Trent" Girone became the first-ever special needs contestant in the show's 30-year history, and spun his way into viewers' hearts with his unbridled enthusiasm and love of the game. The 21-year-old from Peoria, Ariz. has overcome nine brain surgeries and has Asperger's and Tourette's syndrome.

In a blog post on the show's website, Girone wrote, "I decided to be a contestant because I have been a fan of the show since I was at least two years of age."

While he didn't win the game, his positive outlook continues to shine in this word for future Wheel spinners.
