Aimee Mullins: The opportunity of adversity | Video on TED.com
The last video I watched tonight. This video is about the labels we put on people and specifically disabled. The last six minutes of this video are what I want to show my classes. She tells a lovely story about the doctor who told her parent she would never walk. She also talks about students being labeled and the effect on the students and the teachers. It is always important to remember that a strong sense of self will allow us to accomplish more than we can ever imagine, and that others opinions of us can pull us down if we allow them to do so.
Aimee, you are awesome!!!
