Questions:
1. What are your take-aways from this video?
That you CAN have the strength to get past these things, to keep them from affecting what you do. That your parents allow you to be anything you want to be, they HELP you get there. It's incredible what we take for granted!
2. What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
She's passionate and can continue on without stopping because she enjoys telling us her story.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
She walks around a little but also, looks out. Also, she doesn't really have a slideshow.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
What matters is the love and support that her parents gave her to make it anywhere near possible for her not to know she was legally blind for 17 years. To me it means that I should work even harder to puush past my "roadblocks" because I don't even begin to encounter the problems she is facing in her life now and when she was younger. To education it shows that you can be legally blind and still be treated normally in your classes, and by your peers. She was never sent to a "special school" because her parents wanted her to have the opprotunities she would have if she didn't have problems. To the world...it shows that we can all learn alot. We don't need to judge people bacause of their problems, we need to love them because of their strengths. We should NOT let our disabilities be a reason to get down and not work. We should ALL learn from this story.
