I'm actually going to share something with you
0
0
2000
Saya akan berbagi sesuatu yang belum pernah
00:17
I haven't talked about probably in more than 10 years.
1
2000
3000
saya bicarakan mungkin selama lebih dari 10 tahun.
00:20
So bear with me
2
5000
2000
Jadi harap maklum
00:22
as I take you through this journey.
3
7000
2000
saat saya membawa Anda dalam perjalanan ini.
00:24
When I was 22 years old,
4
9000
2000
Saat saya berusia 22 tahun,
00:26
I came home from work, put a leash on my dog
5
11000
3000
saya pulang kerja, lalu memasang rantai di leher anjing saya
00:29
and went for my usual run.
6
14000
3000
dan seperti biasa pergi berjalan-jalan.
00:32
I had no idea that at that moment
7
17000
2000
Saya tidak tahu bahwa saat itu
00:34
my life was going to change forever.
8
19000
2000
hidup saya akan berubah selamanya.
00:36
While I was preparing my dog for the run,
9
21000
3000
Saat saya bersiap berjalan-jalan dengan anjing saya,
00:39
a man was finishing drinking at a bar,
10
24000
4000
seorang pria baru selesai minum-minum di bar
00:43
picked up his car keys, got into a car
11
28000
2000
mengambil kunci mobilnya, masuk ke mobil
00:45
and headed south,
12
30000
2000
dan menuju ke arah selatan,
00:47
or wherever he was.
13
32000
2000
atau ke manapun.
00:49
I was running across the street,
14
34000
2000
Saya berjalan menyeberang jalan
00:51
and the only thing that I actually remember
15
36000
2000
dan satu-satunya hal yang saya ingat
00:53
is feeling like a grenade went off in my head.
16
38000
3000
adalah seperti ada granat yang meledak di dalam kepala saya
00:56
And I remember putting my hands on the ground
17
41000
4000
Saya ingat tangan saya tergeletak di tanah
01:00
and feeling my life's blood
18
45000
2000
dan merasa seluruh darah saya
01:02
emptying out of my neck
19
47000
2000
keluar dari leher
01:04
and my mouth.
20
49000
3000
dan mulut saya.
01:07
What had happened
21
52000
2000
Apa yang terjadi adalah
01:09
is he ran a red light and hit me and my dog.
22
54000
3000
dia menerobos lampu merah dan menabrak saya dan anjing saya.
01:12
She ended up underneath the car.
23
57000
3000
Anjing saya masuk ke bawah mobilnya.
01:15
I flew out in front of the car,
24
60000
2000
Saya terlempar di depan mobil itu
01:17
and then he ran over my legs.
25
62000
2000
lalu dia melindas kaki saya.
01:19
My left leg got caught up in the wheel well --
26
64000
2000
Kaki kiri saya terkena roda mobil itu --
01:21
spun it around.
27
66000
2000
dan terpelintir.
01:25
The bumper of the car hit my throat,
28
70000
3000
Bemper mobil itu mengenai tenggorokan saya
01:28
slicing it open.
29
73000
2000
dan menyayatnya.
01:30
I ended up with blunt chest trauma.
30
75000
3000
Akhirnya saya mendapat cedera dada yang parah.
01:33
Your aorta comes up behind your heart.
31
78000
2000
Pembuluh aorta datang dari jantung Anda.
01:35
It's your major artery, and it was severed,
32
80000
3000
Itulah pembuluh nadi utama, dan pembuluh itu terluka
01:38
so my blood was gurgling out of my mouth.
33
83000
3000
sehingga darah saya keluar dari mulut.
01:41
It foamed,
34
86000
2000
Mulut saya berbusa
01:43
and horrible things were happening to me.
35
88000
2000
sesuatu yang buruk telah menimpa saya.
01:47
I had no idea what was going on,
36
92000
2000
Saya tidak tahu apa yang terjadi,
01:49
but strangers intervened,
37
94000
3000
namun bantuan dari orang asing
01:52
kept my heart moving, beating.
38
97000
3000
membuat jantung saya tetap bergerak dan berdetak.
01:55
I say moving because it was quivering
39
100000
2000
Saya mengatakan bergerak karena jantung itu hanya bergetar
01:57
and they were trying to put a beat back into it.
40
102000
3000
dan mereka mencoba membuatnya berdetak kembali.
02:00
Somebody was smart and put a Bic pen in my neck
41
105000
3000
Ada orang yang cerdas dan menaruh pulpen Bic di leher saya
02:03
to open up my airway so that I could get some air in there.
42
108000
3000
untuk membuka jalan udara sehingga saya bisa mendapat udara.
02:06
And my lung collapsed,
43
111000
2000
Dan paru-paru saya rusak
02:08
so somebody cut me open and put a pin in there as well
44
113000
3000
sehingga seseorang menyayatnya dan menaruh pin di sana
02:11
to stop that catastrophic event from happening.
45
116000
7000
untuk mencegah hal-hal yang mengerikan.
02:18
Somehow I ended up at the hospital.
46
123000
2000
Entah bagaimana saya akhirnya sampai di rumah sakit.
02:20
I was wrapped in ice
47
125000
2000
Saya dibungkus dalam es
02:22
and then eventually put into a drug-induced coma.
48
127000
4000
dan akhirnya diberikan obat yang menyebabkan koma.
02:26
18 months later I woke up.
49
131000
4000
18 bulan kemudian saya bangun.
02:30
I was blind, I couldn't speak,
50
135000
2000
Saya buta, tidak dapat berbicara
02:32
and I couldn't walk.
51
137000
2000
dan berjalan.
02:34
I was 64 lbs.
52
139000
3000
Berat saya hanya 64 pon.
02:40
The hospital really has no idea
53
145000
2000
Rumah sakit itu benar-benat tidak tahu
02:42
what to do with people like that.
54
147000
2000
apa yang harus dilakukan.
02:44
And in fact, they started to call me a Gomer.
55
149000
3000
Dan sebenarnya, mereka mulai memanggil saya Gomer.
02:47
That's another story we won't even get into.
56
152000
4000
Itu kisah lain yang tidak akan saya bahas.
02:51
I had so many surgeries to put my neck back together,
57
156000
3000
Saya mendapat banyak operasi untuk memperbaiki leher
02:54
to repair my heart a few times.
58
159000
2000
dan jantung saya beberapa kali.
02:56
Some things worked, some things didn't.
59
161000
2000
Beberapa berhasil, yang lainnya tidak.
02:58
I had lots of titanium put in me,
60
163000
2000
Ada banyak titanium yang dimasukkan ke tubuh saya,
03:00
cadaver bones
61
165000
2000
tulang dari donor mayat
03:02
to try to get my feet moving the right way.
62
167000
3000
untuk membantu kaki saya bergerak dengan benar.
03:05
And I ended up with a plastic nose, porcelain teeth
63
170000
2000
Dan akhirnya saya memiliki hidung plastik, gigi porselen,
03:07
and all kinds of other things.
64
172000
2000
dan semua hal-hal lainnya.
03:09
But eventually I started to look human again.
65
174000
3000
Akhirnya saya terlihat seperti manusia lagi.
03:18
But it's hard sometimes to talk about these things,
66
183000
2000
Namun terkadang sulit untuk membicarakan hal-hal ini.
03:20
so bear with me.
67
185000
3000
Jadi harap maklum.
03:23
I had more than 50 surgeries.
68
188000
2000
Saya menjalani lebih dari 50 operasi.
03:25
But who's counting?
69
190000
3000
Namun apa itu penting?
03:28
So eventually, the hospital decided
70
193000
2000
Jadi akhirnya, rumah sakit itu memutuskan
03:30
it was time for me to go.
71
195000
2000
sudah saatnya saya keluar.
03:32
They needed to open up space
72
197000
2000
Mereka harus mengosongkan ruangan
03:34
for somebody else that they thought could come back
73
199000
4000
untuk orang lain yang mereka rasa akan datang
03:38
from whatever they were going through.
74
203000
3000
entah dari mana dan karena apa.
03:41
Everybody lost faith in me being able to recover.
75
206000
3000
Semuanya kehilangan harapan saya dapat pulih.
03:44
So they basically put a map up on the wall, threw a dart,
76
209000
3000
Jadi mereka memasang peta di dinding, melempar anak panah,
03:47
and it landed at a senior home here in Colorado.
77
212000
5000
dan panah itu menunjuk sebuah rumah jompo di Colorado.
03:52
And I know all of you are scratching your head:
78
217000
2000
Saya tahu Anda semua menggarukkan kepala.
03:54
"A senior citizens' home? What in the world are you going to do there?"
79
219000
3000
"Rumah jompo? Apa yang akan kau lakukan di sana?"
03:57
But if you think about
80
222000
2000
Namun jika Anda berpikir tentang
03:59
all of the skills and talent that are in this room right now,
81
224000
3000
semua bakat dan kemampuan yang ada di ruangan ini sekarang,
04:02
that's what a senior home has.
82
227000
2000
itulah yang dimiliki rumah jompo.
04:04
So there were all these skills and talents
83
229000
2000
Jadi itulah bakat dan kemampuan
04:06
that these seniors had.
84
231000
3000
yang dimiliki para penghuninya.
04:09
The one advantage that they had over most of you
85
234000
2000
Satu kelebihan yang mereka miliki lebih dari kebanyakan dari Anda
04:11
is wisdom,
86
236000
2000
adalah kearifan,
04:13
because they had a long life.
87
238000
3000
karena mereka sudah lama hidup.
04:16
And I needed that wisdom at that moment in my life.
88
241000
2000
Dan saya memerlukan kearifan itu pada saat itu.
04:18
But imagine what it was like for them
89
243000
2000
Namun bayangkan apa yang mereka rasakan
04:20
when I showed up at their doorstep?
90
245000
3000
saat saya muncul di depan pintu?
04:23
At that point, I had gained four pounds,
91
248000
2000
Saat itu, berat saya sudah naik 4 pon
04:25
so I was 68 lbs.
92
250000
2000
menjadi sekitar 68 pon.
04:27
I was bald.
93
252000
2000
Rambut saya botak.
04:29
I was wearing hospital scrubs.
94
254000
2000
Saya memakai pakaian rumah sakit.
04:31
And somebody donated tennis shoes for me.
95
256000
3000
Dan seseorang menyumbangkan sepatu tenis untuk saya.
04:34
And I had a white cane in one hand
96
259000
3000
Saya memegang tongkat putih di satu tangan
04:37
and a suitcase full of medical records in another hand.
97
262000
3000
dan tas penuh dengan rekam medis di tangan lainnya.
04:40
And so the senior citizens realized
98
265000
3000
Sehingga orang-orang tua itu menyadari
04:43
that they needed to have an emergency meeting.
99
268000
2000
mereka harus mengadakan rapat darurat.
04:45
(Laughter)
100
270000
2000
(Tawa)
04:47
So they pulled back and they were looking at each other,
101
272000
3000
Lalu mereka mundur dan melihat satu sama lain
04:50
and they were going, "Okay, what skills do we have in this room?
102
275000
4000
dan berkata, "Baiklah, kita di ruangan ini bisa berbuat apa?
04:54
This kid needs a lot of work."
103
279000
3000
Orang ini memerlukan banyak bantuan."
04:57
So they eventually started
104
282000
2000
Jadi mereka akhirnya mulai
04:59
matching their talents and skills
105
284000
2000
mencocokkan bakat dan kemampuan mereka
05:01
to all of my needs.
106
286000
2000
untuk membantu saya.
05:03
But one of the first things they needed to do
107
288000
2000
Namun salah satu hal pertama yang mereka lakukan
05:05
was assess what I needed right away.
108
290000
2000
adalah menilai apa yang saya perlukan.
05:07
I needed to figure out
109
292000
2000
Saya harus memahami
05:09
how to eat like a normal human being,
110
294000
2000
cara makan seperti manusia normal
05:11
since I'd been eating through a tube in my chest
111
296000
3000
karena saya selama ini makan melalui tabung di dada saya
05:14
and through my veins.
112
299000
2000
dan melalui pembuluh balik.
05:16
So I had to go through trying to eat again.
113
301000
3000
Jadi saya harus mencoba makan lagi.
05:19
And they went through that process.
114
304000
2000
Dan mereka menemani saya selama proses itu.
05:21
And then they had to figure out:
115
306000
2000
Lalu mereka menyadari:
05:23
"Well she needs furniture.
116
308000
2000
"Dia perlu perabotan.
05:25
She is sleeping in the corner of this apartment."
117
310000
3000
Dia tidur di sudut apartemen ini."
05:28
So they went to their storage lockers
118
313000
2000
Jadi mereka pergi ke lemari penyimpanan
05:30
and all gathered their extra furniture --
119
315000
2000
dan mengumpulkan semua perabotan berlebih --
05:32
gave me pots and pans, blankets,
120
317000
3000
memberikan saya wajan dan panci, selimut,
05:35
everything.
121
320000
3000
semuanya.
05:38
And then the next thing that I needed
122
323000
2000
Lalu hal berikutnya yang saya perlukan
05:40
was a makeover.
123
325000
3000
adalah dandan.
05:43
So out went the green scrubs
124
328000
2000
Sehingga saya membuang pakaian hijau itu
05:45
and in came the polyester and floral prints.
125
330000
3000
dan menggantinya dengan poliester dan pakaian motif bunga.
05:48
(Laughter)
126
333000
3000
(Tawa)
05:53
We're not going to talk about the hairstyles that they tried to force on me
127
338000
3000
Kita tidak akan membahas gaya rambut yang mereka coba paksakan
05:56
once my hair grew back.
128
341000
2000
sejak rambut saya tumbuh kembali.
05:58
But I did say no to the blue hair.
129
343000
2000
Namun saya menolak usulan rambut biru.
06:00
(Laughter)
130
345000
3000
(Tawa)
06:04
So eventually what went on
131
349000
3000
Akhirnya
06:07
is they decided that, well I need to learn to speak.
132
352000
3000
mereka memutuskan saya harus belajar bicara.
06:10
So you can't be an independent person
133
355000
2000
Anda tidak bisa mandiri
06:12
if you're not able to speak and can't see.
134
357000
3000
jika tidak dapat berbicara dan melihat.
06:15
So they figured not being able to see is one thing,
135
360000
3000
Mereka menerima kebutaan saya,
06:18
but they need to get me to talk.
136
363000
2000
namun mereka harus membuat saya bicara.
06:20
So while Sally, the office manager,
137
365000
3000
Jadi saat Sally, manager kantor itu,
06:23
was teaching me to speak in the day --
138
368000
2000
mengajari saya bicara di siang hari --
06:25
it's hard, because when you're a kid,
139
370000
2000
hal ini sulit, karena saat anak-anak
06:27
you take things for granted.
140
372000
2000
Anda menerimanya begitu saja.
06:29
You learn things unconsciously.
141
374000
2000
Anda belajar dengan tidak sadar.
06:31
But for me, I was an adult and it was embarrassing,
142
376000
3000
Namun bagi saya, saya sudah dewasa dan ini memalukan
06:34
and I had to learn how to coordinate
143
379000
2000
dan saya harus belajar mengatur
06:36
my new throat with my tongue
144
381000
2000
tenggorokan baru saya, lidah saya.
06:38
and my new teeth and my lips,
145
383000
3000
gigi baru saya, dan lidah saya,
06:41
and capture the air and get the word out.
146
386000
3000
dan menangkap udara serta mengeluarkan suara.
06:44
So I acted like a two-year-old
147
389000
2000
Saya seperti anak berusia 2 tahun
06:46
and refused to work.
148
391000
2000
dan menolaknya.
06:48
But the men had a better idea.
149
393000
3000
Namun orang itu memiliki ide yang lebih bagus.
06:51
They were going to make it fun for me.
150
396000
2000
Mereka akan membuatnya menyenangkan bagi saya.
06:53
So they were teaching me cuss word Scrabble at night,
151
398000
4000
Mereka mengajari Scrabble "kata-kata kotor" di malam hari,
06:57
(Laughter)
152
402000
4000
(Tawa)
07:01
and then, secretly,
153
406000
2000
lalu, dengan diam-diam,
07:03
how to swear like a sailor.
154
408000
3000
cara menyumpahi orang.
07:06
So I'm going to just leave it to your imagination
155
411000
4000
Jadi saya akan membiarkan Anda membayangkan
07:10
as to what my first words were
156
415000
4000
apa kata pertama saya
07:14
when Sally finally got my confidence built.
157
419000
3000
saat Sally akhirnya berhasil membangun kepercayaan diri saya.
07:17
(Laughter)
158
422000
2000
(Tawa)
07:19
So I moved on from there.
159
424000
2000
Saya bergerak maju dari sana.
07:21
And a former teacher who happened to have Alzheimer's
160
426000
3000
Dan seorang mantan guru yang ternyata menderita Alzheimer
07:24
took on the task of teaching me to write.
161
429000
4000
mengajari saya untuk menulis.
07:28
The redundancy was actually good for me.
162
433000
2000
Kemubaziran hal-hal yang diajarkan sebenarnya berguna.
07:30
So we'll just keep moving on.
163
435000
2000
Jadi kita terus maju.
07:32
(Laughter)
164
437000
5000
(Tawa)
07:38
One of the pivotal times for me
165
443000
3000
Salah satu saat yang penting bagi saya
07:41
was actually learning to cross a street again
166
446000
3000
sebenarnya adalah belajar menyeberang jalan kembali
07:44
as a blind person.
167
449000
2000
sebagai orang buta.
07:46
So close your eyes.
168
451000
3000
Jadi tutuplah mata Anda
07:49
Now imagine you have to cross a street.
169
454000
2000
lalu bayangkan Anda harus menyeberang jalan.
07:51
You don't know how far that street is
170
456000
4000
Anda tidak tahu seberapa lebar jalan itu
07:55
and you don't know if you're going straight
171
460000
3000
dan tidak tahu apa Anda berjalan lurus
07:58
and you hear cars whizzing back and forth,
172
463000
3000
lalu Anda mendengar mobil berlalu lalang
08:01
and you had a horrible accident
173
466000
2000
dan mendapat kecelakaan parah
08:03
that landed you in this situation.
174
468000
3000
yang mengakibatkan Anda seperti ini.
08:06
So there were two obstacles I had to get through.
175
471000
3000
Jadi ada dua rintangan yang harus saya hadapi.
08:09
One was post-traumatic stress disorder.
176
474000
3000
Pertama adalah trauma pasca-kecelakaan.
08:12
And every time I approached the corner or the curb
177
477000
4000
Setiap kali saya mendekati tepi jalan,
08:16
I would panic.
178
481000
2000
saya menjadi panik.
08:18
And the second one
179
483000
2000
Dan yang kedua
08:20
was actually trying to figure out how to cross that street.
180
485000
3000
adalah mencoba mencari tahu bagaimana cara menyeberang jalan.
08:23
So one of the seniors just came up to me,
181
488000
3000
Jadi salah satu orang tua itu datang
08:26
and she pushed me up to the corner and she said,
182
491000
3000
dan dia mendorong saya dan berkata
08:29
"When you think it's time to go, just stick the cane out there.
183
494000
3000
"Saat kau rasa saatnya kau menyeberang, ulurkan tongkatmu.
08:32
If it's hit, don't cross the street."
184
497000
2000
Jika tongkatnya tertabrak, jangan menyeberang."
08:34
(Laughter)
185
499000
5000
(Tawa)
08:39
Made perfect sense.
186
504000
3000
Tampak sangat masuk akal.
08:42
But by the third cane
187
507000
2000
Namun saat tongkat ketiga
08:44
that went whizzing across the road,
188
509000
3000
hancur di jalan,
08:47
they realized that they needed to put the resources together,
189
512000
3000
mereka tahu bahwa mereka harus menggabungkan semua sumberdaya
08:50
and they raised funds
190
515000
2000
dan mereka mengumpulkan dana
08:52
so that I could go to the Braille Institute
191
517000
2000
sehingga saya dapat pergi ke Institut Braille
08:54
and actually gain the skills
192
519000
2000
dan mendapatkan keterampilan
08:56
to be a blind person,
193
521000
2000
untuk menjadi orang buta,
08:58
and also to go get a guide dog
194
523000
2000
dan juga mencari anjing pemandu
09:00
who transformed my life.
195
525000
2000
yang mengubah hidup saya.
09:02
And I was able to return to college
196
527000
2000
Dan saya dapat kembali kuliah
09:04
because of the senior citizens who invested in me,
197
529000
4000
karena orang-orang tua yang menanamkan modal pada saya
09:08
and also the guide dog and skill set I had gained.
198
533000
4000
dan juga anjing pemandu dan keterampilan yang saya peroleh.
09:12
10 years later I gained my sight back.
199
537000
2000
10 tahun kemudian penglihatan saya kembali.
09:14
Not magically.
200
539000
2000
Bukan secara ajaib,
09:16
I opted in for three surgeries,
201
541000
3000
saya memilih menjalani 3 operasi
09:19
and one of them was experimental.
202
544000
2000
dan salah satunya masih dalam tahap percobaan.
09:21
It was actually robotic surgery.
203
546000
2000
Operasi itu sebenarnya dilakukan oleh robot.
09:23
They removed a hematoma from behind my eye.
204
548000
3000
Mereka memuang hematoma dari belakang mata saya.
09:27
The biggest change for me
205
552000
2000
Perubahan terbesar bagi saya
09:29
was that the world moved forward,
206
554000
3000
adalah dunia terus maju,
09:32
that there were innovations
207
557000
2000
bahwa ada penemuan
09:34
and all kinds of new things --
208
559000
2000
dan semua hal-hal baru --
09:36
cellphones, laptops,
209
561000
2000
ponsel, komputer jinjing,
09:38
all these things that I had never seen before.
210
563000
3000
semua hal-hal yang belum pernah saya lihat sebelumnya.
09:41
And as a blind person,
211
566000
2000
Dan sebagai orang buta,
09:43
your visual memory fades
212
568000
2000
ingatan visual Anda memudar
09:45
and is replaced with how you feel about things
213
570000
3000
dan digantikan oleh bagaimana perasaan Anda akan sesuatu
09:48
and how things sound
214
573000
3000
bagaimana suara dari sesuatu,
09:51
and how things smell.
215
576000
3000
aroma dari sesuatu.
09:54
So one day I was in my room
216
579000
2000
Sehingga suatu hari saya sedang ada di kamar
09:56
and I saw this thing sitting in my room
217
581000
2000
dan saya melihat benda ini di ruangan saya,
09:58
and I thought it was a monster.
218
583000
2000
saya berpikir itu adalah monster.
10:00
So I was walking around it.
219
585000
2000
Jadi saya berjalan mendekat
10:02
And I go, "I'm just going to touch it."
220
587000
2000
dan berkata, "Saya akan menyentuhnya.'
10:04
And I touched it and I went,
221
589000
2000
Saya menyentuhnya dan ternyata
10:06
"Oh my God, it's a laundry basket."
222
591000
2000
"Ya Tuhan, ini keranjang cucian."
10:08
(Laughter)
223
593000
4000
(Tawa)
10:12
So everything is different
224
597000
2000
Jadi semuanya berbeda
10:14
when you're a sighted person
225
599000
2000
saat Anda bisa melihat
10:16
because you take that for granted.
226
601000
2000
karena Anda menerimanya begitu saja.
10:18
But when you're blind,
227
603000
2000
Namun jika Anda buta
10:20
you have the tactile memory for things.
228
605000
3000
Anda memiliki ingatan akan rasa suatu benda.
10:23
The biggest change for me was looking down at my hands
229
608000
3000
Perubahan terbesar bagi saya adalah saat melihat tangan saya
10:26
and seeing that I'd lost 10 years of my life.
230
611000
4000
dan melihat apa yang telah hilang selama 10 tahun hidup saya.
10:30
I thought that time had stood still for some reason
231
615000
3000
Karena beberapa alasan saya berpikir waktu tetap diam
10:33
and moved on for family and friends.
232
618000
2000
namun bergerak bagi keluarga dan teman-teman saya.
10:35
But when I looked down,
233
620000
2000
Namun saat saya melihat ke bawah
10:37
I realized that time marched on for me too
234
622000
2000
saya menyadari waktu itu juga terus berjalan bagi saya.
10:39
and that I needed to get caught up,
235
624000
2000
dan saya harus mengejar,
10:41
so I got going on it.
236
626000
2000
jadi saya mengejarnya.
10:43
We didn't have words like crowd-sourcing and radical collaboration
237
628000
4000
Tidak ada kata-kata "gotong-royong" dan "kolaborasi radikal"
10:47
when I had my accident.
238
632000
2000
saat kecelakaan saya.
10:49
But the concept held true --
239
634000
2000
Namun konsep itu tetap ada --
10:51
people working with people to rebuild me;
240
636000
3000
orang-orang saling bekerja untuk memulihkan saya;
10:54
people working with people to re-educate me.
241
639000
2000
untuk mendidik saya kembali.
10:56
I wouldn't be standing here today
242
641000
2000
Saya tidak akan berada di sini
10:58
if it wasn't for extreme radical collaboration.
243
643000
4000
jika bukan karena kolaborasi radikal yang luar biasa.
11:02
Thank you so much.
244
647000
2000
Terima kasih banyak.
11:04
(Applause)
245
649000
2000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ramona Pierson - Education innovatorRamona Pierson develops tools to revolutionize learning management and assessment systems -- her fourth career after aviation, neuropsychology and software development.
Why you should listen
Ramona Pierson first built careers in aviation, neuropsychology and software development. While studying and examining and learning the details of such diverse disciplines, she became interested in the act of learning itself. She volunteered in a San Francisco school while working full-time in Silicon Valley and, just like that, a fourth career was born.
Pierson completed a master’s degree in education in California, then headed north to take the reins of the education technology department for Seattle Public Schools. She combined her passions and expertise to create software that, in a nutshell, helps teachers teach better. In 2007, Ramona launched a private company with the same goal. SynapticMash Inc. was launched to revolutionize the learning management and assessment systems in education.
A self-described “data geek,” Pierson contemplated ways to push education and technology through a paradigm shift — to move from web 2.0 to web 3.0. Now the CEO of Declara, Ramona continues to study the act of learning and to explore ways to make our education system work better for students.
