Please watch the Zion Harvey video at this link.
It is very powerful and moving. We discovered our last stance
for this week is empathy. EMPATHY is when you put yourself in someone’s shoes
and try to understand how they feel. Share with us your thoughts about Zion. How
are you empathetic toward him? How does his story make you feel? I look forward
to reading your comments about this amazing boy and his story. Please write 4
to 5 complete sentences that make sense. Make sure you use capitals and
periods.
I fell for him because he lost his hand but with luck he got it back and I am so happy!😎 😄
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the story about Zion I feel sad because he does not have hands. I also feel hopeful that Zion will be able to live a normal life. I am excited and happy for him. He will be able to do a lot of things that he couldn't do before.
ReplyDeleteI felt very sorry for Zion. There were so many things that he couldn't do that I can't imagine not doing. I admired him because he was very grateful for what he had. I'm glad his surgery went well and he got what he needed.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this video it made me a little sad because Zion did not have any hands. When he went to the doctor and got hands it made me feel good. Now Zion can play baseball and he can grab things. This makes me very happy that he was able to get help from the doctors and that he loves his mommy so much.
ReplyDeleteI felt sad and creeped out that he didn't have any hands. And I could imagine not having hands and that would be hard. Because you can't play things that you have to use your hands and you can do things that you have to use your hands for. But when he got hands I felt happy for him because he could finally do things that the other kids can do like play football and write poems and make art.
ReplyDeleteI felt sad and sorry for Zion because he had to get his hands and legs cut off because of an infection. But he had to do that to save his life. He has a very grateful attitude about not being able to do the things that other kids can do. I admire him because he is optimistic and doesn't feel sorry for him self. When Zion was at school in the video, I was thinking about what it would be like if I had no hands. That would be hard for me because I could not write, draw or type on the computer. I felt very very happy when he finally did get hands! Zion was very grateful when he got his new hands. I'm pretty sure he was very happy too. I think the people who have up the other kid's hands were very kind and thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for Zion because he had to get his hands and legs cut off because of a infection. But I am happy that later he got hands and I imagined how it would be like if I had no hands. So I felt grateful when he got hands and could do more then he could imagine. I think Zion is a great example of optimism.
ReplyDeleteI am sad for him because he didn't have any hands or legs, but I am happy for him now because he has hands now. I know it would be very hard having no hands or legs. It would be frustrating to not be able to do the things other kids get to do. I am excited for him because he can play games, play catch and do things other kids can do now.
ReplyDeleteI feel really bad for zion because he had to get his hands and legs cut off. I do not know what life would be like without hands. I felt happy for him in the end because he got hands and he is able to play tag and type on the computer. I can't believe those hands were from another person, that some other kid had those hands before him. I think he is a great example of optimism, hard work and persistence.
ReplyDeleteI felt really bad for Zion because he doesn't have hands. He went through surgery as a kid! I know how surgery feels because I had surgery as a little kid.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad that at first he didnt have any hands, but then he recoverd and they gave him hands so he could do all the normal things that we can do now
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for him. He didn't have hands. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have hands. I am happy he got hands so that he could hold his mom's hand.
ReplyDeleteThis story made me feel disapointed and for other people they sure are lucky that they have hands and legs and he doesen't have them and that he does not have the chance to get to do the things that we get to do and he was born special and that I had a leg problem too! When I was little one of my legs was longer than the other.
ReplyDeleteI felt really bad for Zion because he didnt have any hands, but he was optamistic and never gave up. Then they gave him hands at the end of the story. So now he can do push ups, play Jenga, hit baseballs and most of all be like all the other kids
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for him. He lost his hand. I do not know what I would do without my hands. But then I felt so happy when he got his hands back. I also think he was so brave and confident. He is so tough and he was so brave and went though all of that and I would never be able to go though all of that! And he is one lucky boy to have a mom who will push him so he is brave. Zion is very very very very very brave! 😀 👍
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for Zion because he was born with out hands. I couldn't belive that Zion was doing push ups after 1 year. Zion was determend to be able to do other things like a reagular kids. Zion also was flexable because he said if they got it wrong he wouldn't care because his familay would help him get through it.
ReplyDeleteI feel so so bad for him. It must so hard to not have both of your hands for a year. He was really optimism. I would of not been optimism. He was very brave. I am wowed that he could hit a base ball with a bat.😱
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for zion because he had no hands. And without hands you can't really do anything like games, throw a ball or pick up ANYTHING. But he did not be all sad and throw a fit that he did not have hands. I do think he was sad though. But then a miracle happened and he got hands it was amazing but since he never had or used hands he did not Know how to use them so he had to learn but like I said he did not throw a fit when he couldn't use them he learned how and a year later he was playing games, doing pushups and throwing footballs I thought he was flexible and he had a lot of resilience.
ReplyDeleteZion has no hands I feel bad for him. With out hands he can't really do fun stuff. That din't stop him from doing what his heart told him to do. When he got artificial hands, I was happy😄. I was happy that he could do more things that normal people do.
