Note from the big giant head
00:22
I don’t fall asleep in his class
00:23
I just don’t.
00:24
And it’s weird because I can remember
00:28
falling asleep in every other class.
00:29
I’ve never had a teacher like him, at all.
00:32
Like Calculus… every day, i’d just…
00:34
I’d pass out.
00:36
Like he’s probably one of the teachers,
00:37
like probably when I’m 75 years old
00:39
That I’ll still remember
00:44
that falls in their own time they used is the epitome of what I think is
00:52
teachers should be how do you know what okay okay go ahead and do defense a
00:58
little bit Missouri has a key to the city yeah I
01:02
just tend to fall asleep a lot I it’s a bad thing but I do when this class did
01:15
see me interested so there’s no room for napping because you’re learning okay
01:24
just crazy just exploding with fun
01:28
you see a huge fireball burning Monyetta and go up to the ceiling and a whole
01:32
matter i’m not going to have any kids sleeping and every one of those people
01:38
are out there asking how how as soon as you get the kid askin how or why i could
01:43
rope them in and get that intrigue going what’s good is a love of money he says i
01:46
could care less about Newton’s third law I want to teach something for you to
01:52
take outside of school that’s what he’s told us before so it really it makes me
01:54
feel like he really cares about me and I know he does
02:00
he’s a good man that he will stick go out his way for you right less worse you
02:05
love it more than you know
02:26
two schools have them for six hours a day and then they the kids go home and
02:33
whatever atmosphere they have around for the other 18 affects them and so you
02:37
know if schools can change a lot but we also have to realize that they’d go home
02:42
to a completely different environment I think you tell with me like that I had
02:46
stuff going on so he like kind of reached out to me first and first I was
02:51
like dude here teacher like I’m not going to talk to you right but I did
02:55
what I went home to when I was young is very different than what some of these
03:00
kids go home to or they don’t have a mom and dad or some of these kids I hear
03:03
them talk about all the time whenever gunshots a night I’d have a hard time
03:07
sleeper studying if I never got that sucker I’ve pretty much been on my own
03:11
since I was like 15 so yeah I mean I talked to him about a lot of stuff like
03:16
at home and Stephanie he works with me I mean I’ve had everything from
03:25
mr. right were pregnant to up and abortion – I have ran away and here’s
03:28
what I’m saying my father is beating me and here’s
03:32
pictures of the holes in the walls and you can see where the makeup is trying
03:38
to cover bruises I mean it’s yeah and it is just very different and we’re sending
03:53
the rest of the far that’s why one size fits all doesn’t work
03:57
every day
04:01
to this
04:17
come on even a brawny musong simulator
04:23
there’s a little Korean Allah looking for degrees I guess should your battery
04:33
season is perfect in every way she’s up actually 15 not 14 to 15 going on 25
04:37
she you know what these people I can’t stand her dad can we keep it so but not
04:42
see and so forth so I love I love her to death when Adam came along though we
04:47
didn’t think it was going to be a boy and all of a sudden a boy pops out and
04:52
I’m thinking loud this is cool now I got a girl and a boy and not that I really
04:55
going to be going to baseball games or three not any good at sports like I am
04:58
will be going to plays or something like there whatever it be yeah I’m going to
05:02
be there for my little butt okay no now we have to give her our address
05:07
oh so what is our address and friends you know you know go so does so well
05:29
anyway the nurse comes out and says is your boy and I get ready to holding you
05:32
see so we got to take him back and I’m thinking what’s going on she said he’s
05:37
breathing really fast it was breathing a hundred and eighty times a minute about
05:43
three times a second till to this day breeze about 60 times a minute
05:48
next once a second about bringing that back you get pretty tired after Arlene
05:55
get all your homework done yes
06:01
he breathes a little better now I said help his help right can you get a good
06:07
head of hair
06:13
love you how do you find music that was fine time inside music okay music okay
06:27
we then found out he was completely blind he was born with something called
06:32
Joubert syndrome only 417 people in the whole world have it and what it is is
06:37
it’s an auto autosomal recessive disorder where my wife has to have a
06:42
gene and I had to have a gene that puts it together and it causes this to happen
06:46
so I have a completely intelligent little boy but he can’t control with his
06:55
body ducks even though his body is completely functional
06:57
in fact it right now your butt’s on that chair your butt tells your brain which
07:00
way up is just bring down to that so the mere fact that you can sit down and sit
07:05
up is a miracle all right now he is extremely colors and if you get scared
07:30
or he gets upset go to start taking assistant County it’s a fun song
07:35
if he wakes up and he gets scared and I’m not there he’ll roll out of bed and
07:38
start pounding his face on the floor
07:42
constantly take his legs and pound them on wheels we solve grooves and bloody so
07:48
when I am sorry getting a laugh on what all this is about all those dreams of
07:54
ever watching it my son not go home run a defense went away and talked about
08:01
getting pissed at God I was pissed because you know the whole thing about
08:06
where we universe me from I didn’t care what I care about is why and you can
08:12
pick on me all you want but when you pick on my little boys on a totally
08:19
innocent little baby and you’re making him do that I sort of ask myself what
08:23
was the point
08:29
you
08:32
Oh
08:41
for everyone through all this it was a be that fuller taught me why one day a
08:47
larger limb and she had em in the middle of all of her dolls I’m thinking what
08:54
are you doing she then playing little brother I’m
08:58
thinking you’re not a play and she said adamant she said like a me a dollar
09:04
something he just smacked it and I’m thinking later that if you smack that he
09:09
can see when did you find out he can see he’s like I don’t know he just starts
09:13
mic and all I’m thinking holy Mac and so then we started working with him and
09:19
Charlie teaching the little sign language and there was nothing more
09:23
incredible than the day you see this
09:29
what’s that mean daddy I love you so cool that’s what I knew it didn’t care
09:37
about how things work anymore it’s the reason why things work it’s
09:41
because of love so there’s something a lot greater than energy there’s
09:45
something a lot greater than entropy it’s the fact that what’s the greatest
09:48
thing that’s what makes it all the while is
09:53
so with that great big universe that we have with all those stars who cares
09:58
somebody cares about you long long to care about each other that’s what we go
10:08
yeah I know arnar okay
10:20
