In this particular video, Peter is graduating high school. Through his high school years, Peter’s behavior has changed drastically. Although he is not as “normal” as the other children, he has adapted very well as he aged. In his high school years, he began to learn life skills through the help of his aide. His family wanted to ensure that he would be able to cope in the world on his own. Peter was able to take on and hold jobs. He was able to work at a bookstore, hotel and a couple of other positions. Peter, now, knows how to dress himself and is, even, refusing help from his mother. Peter is also able to walk to the bus stop without assistance. Peter, even, went to prom. He did everything that normal children would do at the prom. Overall, Peter has learned how to be as normal …show more content…

In this video, I take, that the time of diagnosis really has no effect on whether or not a child is able to adapt and become normal. It is believed that the earlier the child is diagnosed, that the better the chances are for the child to become normal. I feel that children with disabilities should not be frowned upon or seen as being different. They should be treated the same as others. Children with disabilities also should have a mandatory aide. I feel that it would be a big help to not only the child but the teacher. The aide will provide a closer companion for the child outside of his peers. The aide will help lighten the worries of the teacher and assist in providing an effective plan to help the child due to the aide having a closer relationship to the child. Peter is a prime example of how children with disabilities are able to live normally with the proper support. Peter had a teacher that cares, classmates that were willing to help and eventually receive an aide. He was able to graduate high school while holding jobs like a normal teenager. This was

  • Cue For Treaon: Peter Brownrigg As A Hero

    This is proven when he discovers the information regarding the conspiracy against the Queen, and uses it to save her. For example, Peter was one to decipher the clue of the sonnet and suggest that the conspirators were going to meet in the peel tower. He said, ”’Mightn’t it be one of the peels in Cumberland - maybe Sir Philip Morton’s?’” (153) This shows Peter’s intelligence because, if he had not suggested it, they would not have known the plans of Sir Philip Morton and the other men, and the Queen would have been dead. Not only that, but there were several other adults in the room with the same information, yet he was the one to put the pieces together and figure it out. Furthermore, Peter and the other men in the room were all part of the Secret Services, and he was the only one of them to use his wits and think back to the peel in Cumberland. Peter’s quick wit provides explanation as to how he was able to keep the Queen alive. For example, he escapes from the ropes that Sir Duncan binds him with. He “dashed the bottle against the stone...bent forward and searched the grass for a suitable fragment” (196) to “saw at the cord round [his] ankles.” (197) This shows true intelligence for he has to think of it on the spot, and is a plan that he actually manages to carry out. There is also additional stress and pressure since Duncan could have came and seen him at any moment. Undoubtedly, Peter is a very

    Peter preferred to live comfortably, and didn’t have a need for extravagance as much as Louis XIV did. But that didn’t mean he didn’t think big. Peter’s main goals were to modernize Russia, and to make it a major European power—a force to be reckoned with—and also to gain control of the church. He tried to achieve these in many different ways. One way he attempted to make Russia more powerful was by westernizing the country. He traveled all over Western Europe, learning about the culture, more modern practices and way of ...

  • Essay on Peter the Great

    1550 Words  | 4 Pages

    Peter was only ten years old when the Kremlin saw an open and violent struggle of power between the Naryshkins and Miloslavskys. He had witnessed killings including his mother’s former guardian. These vicious and unnecessary killings created a deep hatred in Peter for the streltsy and revulsion against the Kremlin and its politics. Peter had spent the next seven years in the village of Preobrazhenskoe and his mother whom now served as a head of state. Peter then used his own devices to familiarize himself which in fact were military matters and Western technology. His mother’s death in 1694 and Ivan the Terrible’s death in 1696 made Peter the sole ruler of Russia. (Gupta, 2006) Despite the fact that he had no formal or complete education, Peter was beyond his years physically and mentally. He gained knowledge from mostly foreigners when it came to technical skills who worked for Russian service that had lived nearby. He spent a majority of his time in the German quarter in Moscow learning from the scholars from the German University. (Hutchinson, 2011) A new revolt of the streltsy took place in...

    Copious amounts of time and effort lead to an equally large reward to everyone but the student athlete. Schooled, directed by Trevor Martin and Ross Finkel, is a compelling documentary that explores this concept and depicts the life and hardships of those who play college sports in America. Through its many appeals, the film helps to expose the corruption of NCAA, the organization who makes the rules, and reach those who can make a change to a system of injustice.

  • Rain Man Stereotypes

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the article Debunking Stereotypes about Kids with special Needs, it gives examples to prove this misconception wrong. The National Network for Child Care is an association that states, “Children who have learning, sensory, physical, or mental disabilities were born with them, or they also might have become disabled by an accident” (National Network for Childcare 1). These children may look and function differently, but that does not make it a disease that others catch. This quote does not state that these children have an illness or that they’re sick, which means that these children are normal people just with different attributes. This website article also uses facts which illustrate that this stereotype is false. These kids begin their development at different times, there are some stages of growth and maturing in special needs children that are different from the ordinary for their age (National Network for Child Care 1). Although these children take more time to grow physically and emotionally, that does not mean that their peers will get this too. All of the struggles and drawbacks that some disabled children have are just normal, and it is inappropriate to say that they will pass this to others. An educational essay by Laurie Block who works in a history museum writes to explain the facts of children with disabilities. One quote speaks directly about this stereotype, “A

    Disability in our day in age is seen as being worse than death. People with disabilities should not feel like they don 't belong. They are just like everyone else and want to be treated like everyone else. Many without disabilities think that it can be contagious and stray to even look at people with disability. This is not the case for it 's not contagious and one should not be seen as a different person just because of their disability. They didn 't choose that life and shouldn 't be mistreated for what they are. “People with disability should be treated equally to everyone else.”

  • Personal Statement: An Introduction To Social Work

    Teachers often mistake students with disabilities as “annoying” and write them off as “dumb” or “lazy,” due to lack of education. I understand some teachers experience training with the mentally ill or learning disabled population, however I strongly believe every teacher, everywhere, should experience extensive training with children who have any kind of disability. As school staff it is our job to provide a safe learning environment for our children, especially because many children do not receive the same kind of attention and affection in their homes, so when they come to school and are being treated like they are less than human, they begin to believe they are “annoying” or

    Even in death, Peter cannot escape ridicule. At a time when everyone is supposed to celebrate his life and mourn his death, they are still mocking Peter. He is still the punch line to cruel jokes. At one point, a funeral attendee speculates that the reason the casket is closed is because “he was in there in a big wig and heels” (Doty 11/12). Peter was being judged at his own funeral. That is pathetic. No one should have to endure that, but Peter did. This poor individual was told that he “asked for it” (Doty 16). “It” is referring to death. He was just...

    My observation is in a diverse title I class which allowed for me to experience and gain knowledge not only on ELL students but as well as special education. My interview consisted of a preschool and second grade classroom which help me understand the different milestones and differentiated instruction. When having a language barrier teachers need to not only know their students but check that the student is understanding the lesson. Instead of just asking questions that can make the student feel uncomfortable or different is by planning ahead and having activities where all students participate and answer (Herrell, 2015). When having everyone answer it helps students who don’t like to participate to feel comfortable when it’s their turn to

    Kids with disabilities are nice young boys and girls, but they don’t always get the chance to show it. People judge them because of what they have. It could be because they can’t speak right, do a math problem like we can, or they could have a mental handicap. Children with disabilities should be treated the same as everyone else.

    It was not until I saw the movie (before our class) “I Am Sam”, my thoughts about people with learning disabilities started to change. The movie changed my perception that mentally challenged individuals are strange by nature because they do not seem to understand when people talk to them and is different from myself. The movie showed me that they do comprehend information, have feelings as I do, and most importantly, that I have wrongly stereotyped their differences.
