This assignment was intended to allow students to delve deeper into a specific subject- so deep that they would feel confident in teaching it. Angeline, Heather, Jeffrey, and I all collaberated on this project. We were instructed to create a powerpoint that would perfectly illustrate paralysis and all of its components to an unknowing class. This was rather easy for me, as I have experienced a lot of issues with paralysis within my close circle of friends and family throughout my life. Although it usually occurs after injury or some sort of stroke, I grew up alongside a boy who was born entirely paralysed. Unfortunately, he died during the very operation that was meant to permanently fix his life. My personal goal in this project was to show everyone the true aspects of paralysis and all of its little nooks. There are many more pieces than what is accepted as general knowledge. It is very complex, and extremely devastating. It occurs at a very small, nerve-based level yet can cause mass destruction within ones life. I was fascinated by the details that involved neurones- who knew such little damage could cause such destruction? It just shows that every part of the body, big or small, may prove extremely important when it comes to just the bare minimal functions of life.
