I really enjoy the presentation entitled “Service Learning” by Mr. Nathan I. In his presentation, Mr. Ingley introduced an organization named Goodwill Industries that brings happiness to the local residents.
I choose this topic because I learn a lot from Nathan’s presentation and I really appreciate the beauty of this organization, which mainly provides education, child care and spirit support to people with special needs. Furthermore, Nathan’s personal story deeply touches my heart.
As a patient of pervasive developmental disorder, Nathan has suffered the symptoms related to this disease since his childhood. Although this disease is a big thunderstorm in his sky, Nathan has overcome the mild defect in his brain development with the help of medical treatment and his own willingness to get better. To me, Nathan is a great hero just like Forrest Gump.
After listening to this presentation, I also learn a valuable lesson from Nathan. Despite being a mild Autism patient, Nathan is a polite, neat, and confident young man. I also understand that Autism patients are not monster and they could have a decent life just like we so called healthy people have.
In summary, Nathan’s presentation gets rid of my bias to Autism patients. His good manner and his willingness to help the patients suffering the same disease deserve my big applause.
