I agree with his point of view all the way. I believe that his purpose is, everyone should be treated equally. Just because he's blind, doesn't make him non-human. People are so quick to judge that it's crazy. Hasn't anyone heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover," or "Looks can be deceiving." People are so quick to say no to him because he's blind, that they don't take the time to notice his education history, or get to know him as a person. How will they ever find out his talents if they don't give him a chance?
I can't say that I've personally experienced this, but I did work with the special needs children my senior year of high school. They were treated so poorly, and they had such big hearts. The teachers who would watch after them wouldn't let them say hi to anyone, or even waive. All I can remember hearing was, "DANNY... keep your hands in your pockets!" He was so sad and would sit and stare at the ground. That's why I loved working with them. Funny thing is, some could whoop my butt in basketball. Just because they looked differently, talked differently, or acted differently, doesn't make them useless. They were really intelligent too, I guess some people just don't have the patience to work with them.
I believe you have answered the questions given. That's cool that you worked with them in high school. Sad that people can treat others that way!
ReplyDelete1. you answered all the question that were asked clearly.
ReplyDelete5. your biggest strength was the high school experience and its so true that just cause you look different doesn't mean you can't be intelligent.
Your point of views are strong and the way you delivered them is very good.
