I'm actually going to share something with you
0
0
2000
Es patiesībā jums pastāstīšu ko tādu,
00:17
I haven't talked about probably in more than 10 years.
1
2000
3000
par ko neesmu runājusi, iespējams, vairāk kā 10 gadus.
00:20
So bear with me
2
5000
2000
Pacietieties,
00:22
as I take you through this journey.
3
7000
2000
kamēr vedīšu jūs cauri šim ceļojumam.
00:24
When I was 22 years old,
4
9000
2000
Kad es biju 22 gadus veca,
00:26
I came home from work, put a leash on my dog
5
11000
3000
atnācu mājās no darba, uzliku kaklasiksnu savam sunim,
00:29
and went for my usual run.
6
14000
3000
un devos savā ierastajā skrējienā.
00:32
I had no idea that at that moment
7
17000
2000
Man nebija ne jausmas, ka tajā brīdī
00:34
my life was going to change forever.
8
19000
2000
mana dzīve mainīsies uz visiem laikiem.
00:36
While I was preparing my dog for the run,
9
21000
3000
Kamēr es gatavoju savu suni skrējienam,
00:39
a man was finishing drinking at a bar,
10
24000
4000
kāds vīrietis bārā beidza dzert,
00:43
picked up his car keys, got into a car
11
28000
2000
paņēma savas mašīnas atslēgas, iekāpa mašīnā
00:45
and headed south,
12
30000
2000
un devās uz dienvidiem,
00:47
or wherever he was.
13
32000
2000
vai vienalga uz kurieni.
00:49
I was running across the street,
14
34000
2000
Es skrēju pāri ielai,
00:51
and the only thing that I actually remember
15
36000
2000
un vienīgā lieta, ko es faktiski atceros,
00:53
is feeling like a grenade went off in my head.
16
38000
3000
ir sajūta, it kā granāta man ietriektos galvā.
00:56
And I remember putting my hands on the ground
17
41000
4000
Un es atceros noliekam savas rokas uz zemes
01:00
and feeling my life's blood
18
45000
2000
un jūtot, ka manas dzīvības asinis
01:02
emptying out of my neck
19
47000
2000
man iztek no kakla
01:04
and my mouth.
20
49000
3000
un manas mutes.
01:07
What had happened
21
52000
2000
Notika tas,
01:09
is he ran a red light and hit me and my dog.
22
54000
3000
ka viņš brauca pie sarkanās gaismas un notrieca mani un manu suni.
01:12
She ended up underneath the car.
23
57000
3000
Suns pakļuva zem automašīnas.
01:15
I flew out in front of the car,
24
60000
2000
Es izlidoju mašīnas priekšā,
01:17
and then he ran over my legs.
25
62000
2000
un tad tā pārbrauca man pāri kājām.
01:19
My left leg got caught up in the wheel well --
26
64000
2000
Mana kreisā kāja iesprūda ritenī --
01:21
spun it around.
27
66000
2000
tā sagriezās.
01:25
The bumper of the car hit my throat,
28
70000
3000
Mašīnas buferis trāpīja man pa rīkli,
01:28
slicing it open.
29
73000
2000
atplēšot to vaļā.
01:30
I ended up with blunt chest trauma.
30
75000
3000
Rezultātā no trieciena es guvu krūškurvja traumu.
01:33
Your aorta comes up behind your heart.
31
78000
2000
Aiz tavas sirds ir aorta.
01:35
It's your major artery, and it was severed,
32
80000
3000
Tā ir lielākā artērija, un tā bija pārrauta,
01:38
so my blood was gurgling out of my mouth.
33
83000
3000
tāpēc asinis burbuļoja ārā no manas mutes.
01:41
It foamed,
34
86000
2000
Tās putoja,
01:43
and horrible things were happening to me.
35
88000
2000
un ar mani notika šausmīgas lietas.
01:47
I had no idea what was going on,
36
92000
2000
Es nesapratu, kas notiek,
01:49
but strangers intervened,
37
94000
3000
bet iejaucās svešinieki,
01:52
kept my heart moving, beating.
38
97000
3000
centās likt manai sirdij iet, sisties.
01:55
I say moving because it was quivering
39
100000
2000
Es saku "iet", jo tā trīsuļoja
01:57
and they were trying to put a beat back into it.
40
102000
3000
un viņi centās tai atkal iedvest dzīvību.
02:00
Somebody was smart and put a Bic pen in my neck
41
105000
3000
Kāds bija gudrs un ielika Bic pildspalvu manā kaklā,
02:03
to open up my airway so that I could get some air in there.
42
108000
3000
lai atvērtu manu elpvadu, lai tajā varētu iekļūt gaiss.
02:06
And my lung collapsed,
43
111000
2000
Un mana plauša sabruka,
02:08
so somebody cut me open and put a pin in there as well
44
113000
3000
tāpēc kāds mani atgrieza vaļā un ielika tur spraudīti,
02:11
to stop that catastrophic event from happening.
45
116000
7000
lai apturētu katastrofisko notikumu.
02:18
Somehow I ended up at the hospital.
46
123000
2000
Kaut kā es nokļuvu slimnīcā.
02:20
I was wrapped in ice
47
125000
2000
Es biju ievīstīta ledū,
02:22
and then eventually put into a drug-induced coma.
48
127000
4000
un tad galu galā ievadīta zāļu izraisītā komā.
02:26
18 months later I woke up.
49
131000
4000
Pēc 18 mēnešiem es pamodos.
02:30
I was blind, I couldn't speak,
50
135000
2000
Es biju akla, nevarēju parunāt,
02:32
and I couldn't walk.
51
137000
2000
un nevarēju pastaigāt.
02:34
I was 64 lbs.
52
139000
3000
Es svēru 64 mārciņas.
02:40
The hospital really has no idea
53
145000
2000
Slimnīcai nebija ne jausmas,
02:42
what to do with people like that.
54
147000
2000
ko darīt ar tādiem cilvēkiem.
02:44
And in fact, they started to call me a Gomer.
55
149000
3000
Un viņi sāka mani saukt par Gomeru.
02:47
That's another story we won't even get into.
56
152000
4000
Tas ir cits stāsts, kuru es pat nesākšu.
02:51
I had so many surgeries to put my neck back together,
57
156000
3000
Man tika veiktas tik daudzas operācijas, lai saliktu atpakaļ kopā manu kaklu,
02:54
to repair my heart a few times.
58
159000
2000
pāris reizes lai atjaunotu manu sirdi.
02:56
Some things worked, some things didn't.
59
161000
2000
Dažas lietas izdevās, dažas nē.
02:58
I had lots of titanium put in me,
60
163000
2000
Manī tika ievietots daudz titāna,
03:00
cadaver bones
61
165000
2000
kauli no līķiem,
03:02
to try to get my feet moving the right way.
62
167000
3000
lai manas pēdas kustētos pareizi.
03:05
And I ended up with a plastic nose, porcelain teeth
63
170000
2000
Un beigās es biju ar plastmasas degunu, porcelāna zobiem
03:07
and all kinds of other things.
64
172000
2000
un dažādām citām lietām.
03:09
But eventually I started to look human again.
65
174000
3000
Bet beidzot es atkal sāku izskatīties pēc cilvēka.
03:18
But it's hard sometimes to talk about these things,
66
183000
2000
Taču reizēm ir grūti runāt par šīm lietām,
03:20
so bear with me.
67
185000
3000
tāpēc pacietiet mani.
03:23
I had more than 50 surgeries.
68
188000
2000
Man tika veiktas vairāk kā 50 operācijas.
03:25
But who's counting?
69
190000
3000
Bet kurš gan skaita?
03:28
So eventually, the hospital decided
70
193000
2000
Tā nu galu galā slimnīca izlēma,
03:30
it was time for me to go.
71
195000
2000
ka man jādodas prom.
03:32
They needed to open up space
72
197000
2000
Viņiem vajadzēja atbrīvot vietu
03:34
for somebody else that they thought could come back
73
199000
4000
kādam citam, kas, kā viņi domāja, varētu atlabt
03:38
from whatever they were going through.
74
203000
3000
no tā, kas viņam bija.
03:41
Everybody lost faith in me being able to recover.
75
206000
3000
Ikviens zaudēja ticību, ka es varētu atveseļoties.
03:44
So they basically put a map up on the wall, threw a dart,
76
209000
3000
Viņi būtībā pielika pie sienas karti, meta šautriņu,
03:47
and it landed at a senior home here in Colorado.
77
212000
5000
un tās mērķis bija veco ļaužu pansionāts šeit, Kolorādo.
03:52
And I know all of you are scratching your head:
78
217000
2000
Un es zinu, ka jūs visi kasāt savu galvu:
03:54
"A senior citizens' home? What in the world are you going to do there?"
79
219000
3000
"Veco ļaužu pansionāts? Ko gan tu tur darīsi?"
03:57
But if you think about
80
222000
2000
Bet ja jūs padomājat par
03:59
all of the skills and talent that are in this room right now,
81
224000
3000
visām spējām un talantiem, kas šobrīd atrodas šajā telpā,
04:02
that's what a senior home has.
82
227000
2000
tad tā tas ir arī veco ļaužu pansionātā.
04:04
So there were all these skills and talents
83
229000
2000
Tur bija visas šīs spējas un talanti,
04:06
that these seniors had.
84
231000
3000
kas bija šiem senioriem.
04:09
The one advantage that they had over most of you
85
234000
2000
Viena priekšrocība, kas viņiem ir pār vairumu no jums,
04:11
is wisdom,
86
236000
2000
ir gudrība,
04:13
because they had a long life.
87
238000
3000
jo viņiem bijusi gara dzīve.
04:16
And I needed that wisdom at that moment in my life.
88
241000
2000
Un tajā dzīves brīdī man bija vajadzīga šī gudrība.
04:18
But imagine what it was like for them
89
243000
2000
Bet iedomājieties, kā viņi jutās,
04:20
when I showed up at their doorstep?
90
245000
3000
kad es parādījos uz viņu durvju sliekšņa?
04:23
At that point, I had gained four pounds,
91
248000
2000
Tajā brīdī es biju pieņēmusies svarā par 4 mārciņām,
04:25
so I was 68 lbs.
92
250000
2000
un es svēru 68 mārciņas.
04:27
I was bald.
93
252000
2000
Es biju plikpauraina.
04:29
I was wearing hospital scrubs.
94
254000
2000
Es valkāju slimnīcas apavus.
04:31
And somebody donated tennis shoes for me.
95
256000
3000
Un kāds man ziedoja tenisa kurpes.
04:34
And I had a white cane in one hand
96
259000
3000
Vienā rokā man bija balta nūja,
04:37
and a suitcase full of medical records in another hand.
97
262000
3000
bet otrā rokā - soma pilna ar medicīnisko vēsturi.
04:40
And so the senior citizens realized
98
265000
3000
Un vecie cilvēki saprata,
04:43
that they needed to have an emergency meeting.
99
268000
2000
ka viņiem jānotur ārkārtas sapulce.
04:45
(Laughter)
100
270000
2000
(Smiekli)
04:47
So they pulled back and they were looking at each other,
101
272000
3000
Viņi atkāpās un skatījās viens uz otru,
04:50
and they were going, "Okay, what skills do we have in this room?
102
275000
4000
un viņi it kā sacīja, "Labi, kādas spējas mums, kas ir šai telpā, piemīt?
04:54
This kid needs a lot of work."
103
279000
3000
Šim bērnam vajag daudz darba."
04:57
So they eventually started
104
282000
2000
Galu galā viņi sāka
04:59
matching their talents and skills
105
284000
2000
saskaņot savus talantus un spējas
05:01
to all of my needs.
106
286000
2000
ar visām manām vajadzībām.
05:03
But one of the first things they needed to do
107
288000
2000
Bet viena no pirmajām lietām, kas viņiem bija jāizdara,
05:05
was assess what I needed right away.
108
290000
2000
bija jānovērtē, kas man steidzami vajadzīgs .
05:07
I needed to figure out
109
292000
2000
Man bija jāsaprot,
05:09
how to eat like a normal human being,
110
294000
2000
kā ēst kā normālam cilvēkam,
05:11
since I'd been eating through a tube in my chest
111
296000
3000
jo līdz tam brīdim es ēdu caur caurulīti kaklā
05:14
and through my veins.
112
299000
2000
un caur savām vēnām.
05:16
So I had to go through trying to eat again.
113
301000
3000
Man bija jāmēģina atkal censties ēst normāli.
05:19
And they went through that process.
114
304000
2000
Un viņi visam šim procesam gāja cauri.
05:21
And then they had to figure out:
115
306000
2000
Un tad viņiem bija jāsaprot:
05:23
"Well she needs furniture.
116
308000
2000
"Viņai vajag mēbeles.
05:25
She is sleeping in the corner of this apartment."
117
310000
3000
Viņa guļ šī dzīvokļa stūrī."
05:28
So they went to their storage lockers
118
313000
2000
Viņi gāja pie saviem skapīšiem
05:30
and all gathered their extra furniture --
119
315000
2000
un visi atnesa savas liekās lietas, viņi
05:32
gave me pots and pans, blankets,
120
317000
3000
iedeva man katlus un pannas, segas,
05:35
everything.
121
320000
3000
visu.
05:38
And then the next thing that I needed
122
323000
2000
Un nākamā lieta, ko man vajadzēja,
05:40
was a makeover.
123
325000
3000
bija pārvērtības.
05:43
So out went the green scrubs
124
328000
2000
Tad nu projām bija zaļie traipi
05:45
and in came the polyester and floral prints.
125
330000
3000
un to vietā nāca poliestera un augu attēli.
05:48
(Laughter)
126
333000
3000
(Smiekli)
05:53
We're not going to talk about the hairstyles that they tried to force on me
127
338000
3000
Mēs nerunāsim par matu sakārtojumiem, ko viņi centās man piespiedu kārtā izveidot,
05:56
once my hair grew back.
128
341000
2000
kad mani mati atauga.
05:58
But I did say no to the blue hair.
129
343000
2000
Bet es pateicu "nē" ziliem matiem.
06:00
(Laughter)
130
345000
3000
(Smiekli)
06:04
So eventually what went on
131
349000
3000
Beigu beigās notika tā,
06:07
is they decided that, well I need to learn to speak.
132
352000
3000
ka viņi izdomāja, ka man vajag mācīties runāt.
06:10
So you can't be an independent person
133
355000
2000
Tu nevari būt neatkarīgs cilvēks,
06:12
if you're not able to speak and can't see.
134
357000
3000
ja esi akls un neproti runāt.
06:15
So they figured not being able to see is one thing,
135
360000
3000
Viņi izsprieda, ka nespēja redzēt ir viena lieta,
06:18
but they need to get me to talk.
136
363000
2000
bet viņiem vajadzēja likt man runāt.
06:20
So while Sally, the office manager,
137
365000
3000
Kamēr Sallija, biroja vadītāja,
06:23
was teaching me to speak in the day --
138
368000
2000
pa dienu mācīja mani runāt,
06:25
it's hard, because when you're a kid,
139
370000
2000
tas ir grūti, jo, kad tu esi bērns,
06:27
you take things for granted.
140
372000
2000
tu uztver lietas kā pašsaprotamas.
06:29
You learn things unconsciously.
141
374000
2000
Tu neapzināti mācies lietas.
06:31
But for me, I was an adult and it was embarrassing,
142
376000
3000
Bet manā gadījumā, es biju pieaugusi un tas bija apkaunojoši,
06:34
and I had to learn how to coordinate
143
379000
2000
un man bija jāmācās, kā saskaņot
06:36
my new throat with my tongue
144
381000
2000
manu jauno rīkli ar manu mēli
06:38
and my new teeth and my lips,
145
383000
3000
un manus jaunos zobus ar lūpām,
06:41
and capture the air and get the word out.
146
386000
3000
un ieelpot gaisu un pateikt vārdu.
06:44
So I acted like a two-year-old
147
389000
2000
Es uzvedos kā divgadīgs bērns
06:46
and refused to work.
148
391000
2000
un atteicos darboties.
06:48
But the men had a better idea.
149
393000
3000
Bet cilvēkiem bija labāka doma.
06:51
They were going to make it fun for me.
150
396000
2000
Viņi man šo procesu gribēja padarīt jautru.
06:53
So they were teaching me cuss word Scrabble at night,
151
398000
4000
Viņi mācīja man lamuvārdu "Scrabble" naktī,
06:57
(Laughter)
152
402000
4000
(Smiekli)
07:01
and then, secretly,
153
406000
2000
un tad, slepenībā,
07:03
how to swear like a sailor.
154
408000
3000
kā lādēties kā jūrniekam.
07:06
So I'm going to just leave it to your imagination
155
411000
4000
Es to vienkārši atstāšu jūsu iztēlei,
07:10
as to what my first words were
156
415000
4000
kādi bija mani pirmie vārdi,
07:14
when Sally finally got my confidence built.
157
419000
3000
kad Sallija beidzot pacēla manu pašapziņu.
07:17
(Laughter)
158
422000
2000
(Smiekli)
07:19
So I moved on from there.
159
424000
2000
Es devos tālāk.
07:21
And a former teacher who happened to have Alzheimer's
160
426000
3000
Bijusī skolotāja, kurai bija Alcheimera slimība,
07:24
took on the task of teaching me to write.
161
429000
4000
uzņēmās uzdevumu iemācīt man rakstīt.
07:28
The redundancy was actually good for me.
162
433000
2000
Liekvārdība patiesībā nāca man par labu.
07:30
So we'll just keep moving on.
163
435000
2000
Mēs devāmies tālāk.
07:32
(Laughter)
164
437000
5000
(Smiekli)
07:38
One of the pivotal times for me
165
443000
3000
Viena no svarīgākajām lietām man
07:41
was actually learning to cross a street again
166
446000
3000
bija mācīšanās atkal šķērsot ielu
07:44
as a blind person.
167
449000
2000
kā aklam cilvēkam.
07:46
So close your eyes.
168
451000
3000
Aizveriet acis.
07:49
Now imagine you have to cross a street.
169
454000
2000
Tagad iedomājieties, ka jums jāšķērso iela.
07:51
You don't know how far that street is
170
456000
4000
Jūs nezināt, cik tālu šī iela ir,
07:55
and you don't know if you're going straight
171
460000
3000
un jūs nezināt, vai ejat taisni,
07:58
and you hear cars whizzing back and forth,
172
463000
3000
un jūs dzirdat mašīnas džinkstam aizmugurē un priekšā,
08:01
and you had a horrible accident
173
466000
2000
un jūs piedzīvojāt briesmīgu negadījumu,
08:03
that landed you in this situation.
174
468000
3000
kas jūs noveda šajā situācijā.
08:06
So there were two obstacles I had to get through.
175
471000
3000
Bija divi šķēršļi, kam man bija jātiek cauri.
08:09
One was post-traumatic stress disorder.
176
474000
3000
Viens bija pēctraumatiskā stresa sindroms.
08:12
And every time I approached the corner or the curb
177
477000
4000
Un katru reizi, kad es tuvojos stūrim vai ietves malai,
08:16
I would panic.
178
481000
2000
es kritu panikā.
08:18
And the second one
179
483000
2000
Un otrs
08:20
was actually trying to figure out how to cross that street.
180
485000
3000
bija cenšanās saprast, kā šķērsot ielu.
08:23
So one of the seniors just came up to me,
181
488000
3000
Viens no vecajiem cilvēkiem pienāca pie manis,
08:26
and she pushed me up to the corner and she said,
182
491000
3000
un viņa piestūma mani pie stūra un teica,
08:29
"When you think it's time to go, just stick the cane out there.
183
494000
3000
"Kad tu domā, ka ir laiks iet, vienkārši izbāz nūju uz ielas.
08:32
If it's hit, don't cross the street."
184
497000
2000
Ja to salauž, nešķērso ielu."
08:34
(Laughter)
185
499000
5000
(Smiekli)
08:39
Made perfect sense.
186
504000
3000
Diezgan loģiski.
08:42
But by the third cane
187
507000
2000
Taču pēc trešās nūjas,
08:44
that went whizzing across the road,
188
509000
3000
kas aizdžinkstēja pār ceļu,
08:47
they realized that they needed to put the resources together,
189
512000
3000
viņi saprata, ka viņiem jāsavāc līdzekļi,
08:50
and they raised funds
190
515000
2000
un viņi piesaistīja līdzekļus,
08:52
so that I could go to the Braille Institute
191
517000
2000
lai es varētu doties uz Braila institūtu
08:54
and actually gain the skills
192
519000
2000
un iegūt prasmes
08:56
to be a blind person,
193
521000
2000
būt aklam cilvēkam,
08:58
and also to go get a guide dog
194
523000
2000
un arī saņemt suni pavadoni,
09:00
who transformed my life.
195
525000
2000
kas mainīja manu dzīvi.
09:02
And I was able to return to college
196
527000
2000
Es biju spējīga atgriezties koledžā,
09:04
because of the senior citizens who invested in me,
197
529000
4000
pateicoties vecajiem cilvēkiem, kas manī ieguldīja,
09:08
and also the guide dog and skill set I had gained.
198
533000
4000
un arī sunim pavadonim, un prasmju komplektam, ko es ieguvu.
09:12
10 years later I gained my sight back.
199
537000
2000
Pēc 10 gadiem es atguvu redzi.
09:14
Not magically.
200
539000
2000
Bez burvestībām.
09:16
I opted in for three surgeries,
201
541000
3000
Man tika veiktas 3 operācijas,
09:19
and one of them was experimental.
202
544000
2000
un viena no tām bija eksperimentāla.
09:21
It was actually robotic surgery.
203
546000
2000
Tā patiesībā bija robotiskā ķirurģija.
09:23
They removed a hematoma from behind my eye.
204
548000
3000
Viņi aiz manas acs izoperēja hematomu.
09:27
The biggest change for me
205
552000
2000
Lielākā pārmaiņa man
09:29
was that the world moved forward,
206
554000
3000
bija, ka pasaule turpināja attīstīties,
09:32
that there were innovations
207
557000
2000
ka bija jaunatklājumi
09:34
and all kinds of new things --
208
559000
2000
un visādu veidu jaunas lietas --
09:36
cellphones, laptops,
209
561000
2000
mobilie tālruņi, portatīvie datori,
09:38
all these things that I had never seen before.
210
563000
3000
visas šīs lietas, ko nekad iepriekš nebiju redzējusi.
09:41
And as a blind person,
211
566000
2000
Kā aklam cilvēkam
09:43
your visual memory fades
212
568000
2000
jūsu vizuālā atmiņa izzūd,
09:45
and is replaced with how you feel about things
213
570000
3000
to aizvieto jūsu sajūtas par lietām,
09:48
and how things sound
214
573000
3000
un tas, kā lietas skan,
09:51
and how things smell.
215
576000
3000
un kā lietas smaržo.
09:54
So one day I was in my room
216
579000
2000
Kādu dienu es biju savā istabā
09:56
and I saw this thing sitting in my room
217
581000
2000
un redzēju šo lietu sēžam istabā,
09:58
and I thought it was a monster.
218
583000
2000
un es nodomāju, ka tas ir briesmonis.
10:00
So I was walking around it.
219
585000
2000
Es apgāju tai apkārt.
10:02
And I go, "I'm just going to touch it."
220
587000
2000
Un teicu, "Es vienkārši tai pieskaršos."
10:04
And I touched it and I went,
221
589000
2000
Un es tai pieskāros, un turpināju,
10:06
"Oh my God, it's a laundry basket."
222
591000
2000
"Ak, mans Dievs, tas ir veļas grozs."
10:08
(Laughter)
223
593000
4000
(Smiekli)
10:12
So everything is different
224
597000
2000
Viss ir citādāks,
10:14
when you're a sighted person
225
599000
2000
kad esi redzīgs,
10:16
because you take that for granted.
226
601000
2000
jo tu to uztver kā pašu par sevi saprotamu.
10:18
But when you're blind,
227
603000
2000
Bet kad esi akls,
10:20
you have the tactile memory for things.
228
605000
3000
tev ir taustes atmiņa lietām.
10:23
The biggest change for me was looking down at my hands
229
608000
3000
Lielākā pārmaiņa bija skatīšanās lejā uz savām rokām
10:26
and seeing that I'd lost 10 years of my life.
230
611000
4000
un redzēšana, ka esmu zaudējusi 10 gadus no savas dzīves.
10:30
I thought that time had stood still for some reason
231
615000
3000
Man šķita, ka laiks kāda iemesla dēļ nebija gājis uz priekšu,
10:33
and moved on for family and friends.
232
618000
2000
un gāja uz priekšu tikai ģimenei un draugiem.
10:35
But when I looked down,
233
620000
2000
Bet kad es paskatījos lejā,
10:37
I realized that time marched on for me too
234
622000
2000
es sapratu, ka arī man tas ir gājis uz priekšu,
10:39
and that I needed to get caught up,
235
624000
2000
un ka man vajag tam tikt līdzi,
10:41
so I got going on it.
236
626000
2000
un es to sāku darīt.
10:43
We didn't have words like crowd-sourcing and radical collaboration
237
628000
4000
Kad notika negadījums ar mani,
10:47
when I had my accident.
238
632000
2000
nebija tādu vārdu kā pūļa sadarbība un radikālā sadarbība.
10:49
But the concept held true --
239
634000
2000
Bet koncepts piepildījās --
10:51
people working with people to rebuild me;
240
636000
3000
cilvēki sadarbojās ar citiem cilvēkiem, lai mani pārbūvētu;
10:54
people working with people to re-educate me.
241
639000
2000
cilvēki sadarbojās ar citiem cilvēkiem, lai mani no jauna iemācītu.
10:56
I wouldn't be standing here today
242
641000
2000
Es te šodien nestāvētu,
10:58
if it wasn't for extreme radical collaboration.
243
643000
4000
ja nebūtu bijusi šī ekstrēmā radikālā sadarbība.
11:02
Thank you so much.
244
647000
2000
Liels paldies Jums.
11:04
(Applause)

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.
