| The student is experiencing visual impairment. |
The Experience of Disabilities Event included many kinds of experiences of disabilities which citizens could experience personally. There were many experiences related to visual impairment, including Visual Sense Coordination disability, Tunnel Vision, cane use, etc. Other experiences included sign language, experiments with walking on crutches, and using wheelchairs. Experiences most people participated in were cane, wheelchair, and crutches. The things I experienced were Sign language, Tunnel Vision, and Visual Sense Coordination disability. I could see only a narrow view when I experienced Tunnel Vision. And I learned that it is hard to experience this disability. After participating in those activities myself, I appreciated the fact that I have a healthy body. And I could begin to understand the difficulties of the disabled.
And in the event on April 20th, there were various performances. First, the event opened with some images made by a club named ‘Comeasy’ from the Dept. of S.E. And the performances began with members of the ‘Exciting culture class’ who were disabled children. They were able to emulate non-disabled children. Second, there were some sign language performances by university students from each grade, and a sign language club from Jinhae Girl’s High School. Also, members of ‘Hatbitjari’ in the Dept. of S.E. played the guitar. I admired the sign language performance. The performance looked so wonderful. Besides, there were some invitational performances by ‘Gyeongnam Primo Ensemble’ and the Phoenix cheering club from our school. Lastly, ‘Dumedujack’ from the Dept. of S.E. completed this event, performing sign language and singing a song.
After that, I thought that the disabled are not so different from the non-disabled, though they have a little more difficulty living than us. I hope such events help to change others' perceptions of the disabled now and for ever.
