I think it is great that children are able to learn at such an early age. It was very thoughtful of MTMC to set aside time and teach thirty-five ESP students. One never knows when an emergency accident could occur. The fact that “spreading jelly on a piece of bread with their non-dominant hand,” is able to teach the children about a stroke. The games and exercises that the MTMC taught the children in ways their parents would not. The children were also taught the signs and symptoms of a stroke. In this generation, children are around their grandparents a lot. For them to learn anything about a severe illness is helpful in any way. Even adults these days, are unaware of what exactly to do when a stroke has occurred. Seeing that Amy Howard stated that “the first three hours after the stroke are the most critical,” encouraged me to learn more into detail about a stroke. In just one day, everything that the MTMC taught the children is something they might not have ever learned during school hours. Since MTMC made the learning experience hands on, it draws attention to the children. It can also make it easier for the children to learn at a younger age.
