If you can’t open the link, you may answer the next question.

Reflection:

After watching the short film entitled “Different” wherein there are
two persons with disabilities and they have different ways of coping. I realize
that despite of their differences at the end they choose to be kind with
each other. It teaches me to be more understanding about their difficulties.
Also, I realized that we should not look about differences on one another
because you never know what someone’s capabilities or limitations might
be, but everyone has something to offer.
