Final Reflection

Simply because I brought it up, here's the kid doing flips in the wheelchair.



For your last reflection this semester, I want you to watch the following video and answer this question- Why did Coach Bird want this to be my last reflection and what does it teach me?

  1. I think he wanted this to be are last reflection because it shows just because he has no arms or legs, he can still live a normal life and be happy about who he is. It also talks about not taking what you do have for granted, some people have nothing so you should appreciate what you have. :)

  3. I think Coach Bird wanted this to be our last reflection, because it goes over everything that we've learned this semester.
    It shows a person with a disability overcome obsticles that a person with arms and legs wouldnt have to overcome.
    It doesn't matter to him that he doesn't have arms and legs, he still lives a normal life.
    It shows that it doesnt matter if someone has a disablilty, there still just like everyone else.

  4. I think you wanted us to watch it because... mabye to show how thankful he was to be able to do the things he can do? I mean, he has no arms or legs and is happier than people who do have arms and legs. This really showed me that there are no limits to what ANYONE can do, he has no arms or legs and can swim, golf, he can wak alittle... Theres notrhing anyone cant overcome, andno reason anyone can't be like the people arouun them.

  5. I think Coach had us watch this video because it shows us that we need to be thankful for the things we have in life. This man shows that anything and everything is possible if you try so never give up. He's not able to do things alot of people can, but he still trys more then people with arms and legs do. He is a very inspiring person and made me appreciate my life more.

  6. I think the reason we watched this video is because no matter how "different" qwe are to the world we are SPECIAL. It really helps us appreciate life and what we have. Instead of focusing on the bad we can look at all the goods things in life!

  7. I think Coach had us watch this video becasue, we need to understand that even though these kids don't have the same abilities we do, they're still happy. We need to apperciate the things we have and be greatful. This video I think is our last reflection because, these kids have disabilities but they're still the same as we are. This video teaches me to be greatful for everything that I have, and to know that I'm blessed. (:

  8. I think Coach wanted this to be my last reflection beccause he wanted me to see that there is someone who has no legs or arms, yet he does whatever he wants without a doubt in his mind that he can do it, and for us to just be thankful. And I've learned to be thankful for what i have, seeing as i don't know how long I'll have it.
