Hello! My name is Katie Jones. Katie.
I want to talk about one person named Barry Sewell.
Recently, Barry shared the vlog which is related to AG Bell discussion.
He talked about how we should see ourselves in parents' perspectives.
What does it mean for parents to envision Deaf children?
His thoughts are very rational.
He actually does have strong rationalization skills.
He has the skills to see different perspectives.
He also can challenge other people's thoughts.
He really can. It's blow minding. It's really a good skill, I tell you.
However, he forgets love.
Love is really important.
We give birth to a baby because of love.
It's always about love.
We give birth to a baby because we love this baby.
When we have a deaf baby, we still should love.
If you see the real reason why we exist,  it's love.
We marry. We have a baby. We have a family.
All because of love.
Again, it is always about love.
We go out and do something in our lives, it's always about love.
It doesn't matter why, or what you do in your life, it is always about love!
The reason why we make a difference, or we make changes,
or we make new different ideas, and other many different ways, it's all because of love.
How we relate to this world.
How we relate to people.
How we relate to different fields.
It's love, I'm telling you.
Love is a connection, it's a connection.
We want to connect because we want to feel connected.
If you do not teach your child to love himself or herself,
actually, this child is deaf himself or herself,
can this deaf child understand love fully?
Maybe not.
If you teach this deaf child to learn to love himself or herself, this child can succeed.
For example, let's look at Nyle DiMarco.
He's extremely strong and confident.
He acts like as if he can do everything.
It's because he believes in himself.
He believes he can.
If you want AG Bell to teach these children to know that they're not hearing enough,
Can they succeed and feel complete?
Can they feel love?
No.
Because of love, I can love myself.
That means I'm complete.
I can understand love.
And I can connect to something.
Just something.
Something that I can fully connect to.
If I love myself, I can feel love within.
That means in the future,  when it comes to a job, a person, etc.,  the kind of connection can be complete.
That's why his point should be thrown out.
Rationalism is not always the answer.
Love is the answer!
