Do you know Ben Underwood? The amazing boy who doesn't seem to know he is blind.
Addison Kate Walsh is 007 james dvd in quite the moral predicament after lost dvd Charlotte (KaDee Strickland)the Sopranos dvd confided in her that she was brutallyinsanity raped in last week's episode. Addison tries to prison break dvd perform a rape kit, but Charlotte vehemently refuses. She also is feeling overwhelmed with a stargate atlantis dvd need to talk to Sam (Taye Diggs), but can't because she promised one tree hill dvd Charlotte she would keep her secret.
In a ghost whisperer dvd clip from tonight's ncis dvd episode "What Happens Next," we see Addison reveal to Sam that she did actually perform the rape kit without Charlotte's consent. "I did insanity something the other night, a rape kit," she says while the two and a half men dvd couple is in bed. "She didn't want it. She was upset and I thought she might want the DNA later so I went ahead and the wire dvd did it anyway."
We also learn she gossip girl dvd labeled the kit as "Jane Doe" and didn't report it, which Sam points out is illegal. spooks dvdThrough this exchange, Sam realizes that the victim married with children dvd is Charlotte.
When spokemad men dvd with KaDee Strickland we asked if Charlotte is Grey's Anatomy dvd going to be upset with Addison for performing the rape kit and for telling Sam. desperate housewives dvd "Can you print hell to the yeah? She is Monk dvd not at all okay with that," she says. "This is a person who has had everything taken away from them. So in how i met your mother dvd that Entourage dvd mind space, for someone to do this, at first, it's yet another violation. At first.She's devastated that someone would take yet another choice the big bang theory dvd away from her and that makes the golden girls dvd perfect sense to me."
Ininsanity last week's episode, it seemed Violet office 2007 (Amy Brenneman), who is also a survivor of Herve Leger dress assault, couldn't be around Charlotte after her office 2010 attack. "You'llthe Sopranos dvd definitely see her be around me in the next episode," Strickland teases. In The Wire dvd another clip, we get a first glimpse into South park dvd this new relationship between the two women.
It is to observe a typical teen to see him speed down hallways, make sharp turns around
corners, play basketball with his pals, ride horses at camp as well as dance with girls
at school events, except, for the clicking.
However, completely blind since the age of 3, after retinal cancer claimed both his eyes,
Ben has learned to perceive the world by making a steady stream of sounds with his tongue.
He listens for the echoes as they bounce off the surfaces around him. About as loud as the
snapping of fingers, Ben's clicks tell him what's ahead: The echoes they produce may be
soft (indicating metals), dense(wood) or sharp(glass).Judging by how loud or faint they
are, Ben has learned to gauge distances.
This technique is manipulated by many species, such as bats and dolphins and is called
echolocation. But for a boy from Sacramento? It is amazing!
I was shocked by the 14 years old boy 's perception for the first time I knew him 4 years
ago. I still remembered his bright eyes and curly hair which showed his overwhelming
energy.
I arranged my old magazines yesterday, accidently I read the article which introduces Ben
again. Then it occurs to me that I haven't heard any news about him in recent years. So I
googled him, and I didn't know he had already passed away until I saw his Personal Home Page.
Like what has been said from his PHP, "Ben Underwood went to be with our Lord and Savior
early in the morning, on January 19th, 2009. He was praising Jesus until the very last
minute, and he had no fear of what was going to happen. He knew that God was preparing to
bring him home."
A big part of the reason Ben succeeded is his mother, who always treated him as though he
could see and spoke visual. Everywhere they went she put his little hand in her back pocket
to keep up with her. And this was her way of being his sighted guide. She told his son "you
can't use your eyes anymore, but you have your hands, your nose, and your ears". I believe
it is the love that give the strength to Ben, enable him to say" I tell people I'm not blind,
I just can't see".
It is obvious that we are so lucky compared with him or many people like him. People always
say that keeping healthy is the most important thing. But what it has brought us? You see,
we have good eyesight without seeing beautiful views, we have sharp olfaction without smelling
the scent of flowers, we have sensitive hearing without appreciating the birds' singing......
When Ben hears someone say that someone else is ugly, or anything negative towards someone else.
He says, "That's whats wrong with sighted people, you all look at one another and judge what
you look like." How ironic it is! Some of us have eyesight but never know how to look at
the world. Maybe it is not a defect to him being blind because only he has the chance to
judge people from spirit but not appearance.
