Just started a module in NIE about including students with special needs into our classroom. saw some touching videos that talk about people with disabilities, learning needs etc. felt very affected. and my heart goes out to them. *Special needs: dyslexia, autism, down's syndrome, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, visual impairment, physical disability*
the lecturer said that we are usually shaped by our own beliefs. without much contact with people with special needs, we tend to form our own opinion when mentioning those of them. some of us even ignore their presence. but no we shouldn't! they are part of Singapore, part of the society. and that's why we must practise inclusion.
Because of myths, stereotypes and personal opinion, we tend to misunderstand these people. and that is why we should be more aware of such people. help them to find their own means of survival. i've seen many examples of those who can, if we help. if we support them..
this video is super touching. the song is quite inspirational too. just a 4 min video. watch it without any stereotype and personal bias and change your life..

B and G's Destiny, summarised in this poem:
the day the liquid paper struck G,
the day the G's uniform is ruined,
the day the hatred builds,
the day the silly B trembles.
the day where B left without a hint of identity,
the day B icqed G,
the day G found out B's identity,
the day B joked about having to repay for his mischieviousness,
the day G's PC crashed,
the day B said he can't help,
the day B called G to cry about his failed driving test,
the day G laughed meanly at B.
the day G got onto the bus,
the day B was sitting in front,
the day G slept uglily,
the day B turned behind and saw salivating, sleepy G.
the day B and G bumped into each other at the bus stop,
the day B talked about his family,
the day G saw a sentimental B,
the day B talked about fate.
the day B sent G home,
the day G felt her heart tingle,
the day B couldn't stop thinking about G,
the day G felt the same.
the day B and G resolved their feelings,
the time was 2323,
the date was 23rd,
the love is eternity.

just the absence of heat.
Darkness is not something;
it is the absence of something.
Death is not the opposite of life;
it is merely the absence of it. ~
The above is quoted from my phy lecturer. makes u think isn't it..
