He's deaf and blind who lived this long while I'm out here complaining about life. I need to get a grip.
"Immigrant" not expat
We all should remember how good we have it and how sometimes others do not...
I do too man. It's convicting, but we all can learn and grow.
You can feel someone’s energy. It’s so amazing.
Lol ikr
I love how she was like "I hope I don't misspell anything."
Woah 2k likes and no comments
@@darijatrajkova4804 I really don't think that's the point.
3rd comment. OwO
Well I think everybody would be like that.
Personnally I'm not a native english speaker so I'm always like "did I use the right word ? Hope I don't misunderstand something" etc. So I can only imagine when she has to use sign language she learned 1 year ago. Especially when your word can help someone, you don't want to misspelling anything.
4.6th k like
"He was lonely, and just wanted to talk." That genuinely crushed my soul. The dude has never had a conversation with someone. He has never had that opportunity. This man and this girl are national treasures.
Maybe more of us could learn sign language, some schools obviously offer it.
he obviously has had that opportunity, if he knows tactile sign at all. and also... being a person, that exists, not in the wild. how do you think he got on the plane?yes, opportunities are limited. no, it was not his first ever conversation.
Really? Really? Never or just on the flight???
Being blind is already hard, i can imagine that... being deaf is also quite hard i can imagine that....
But BLIND *AND* DEAF must be very very difficult gives much suffering in daily life.
@@LyonPercival disabled people do not want your pity. as an example, look up "Real People: We Are Deaf Blind," a video that literally starts with a DeafBlind person saying that pity frustrates them and is a form of oppression.
No, Clara, that's not something "anyone" would have done. On that flight, you were apparently the "only" one who had both the skills and the desire to help that stranger! Good for you.
I think that the vast majority of passengers would like to help, but few people can sign to the blind. It's not just sign language that you can see, he is blind.
Lies again? RU Deaf Blind
I love the way she is looking at him and smiling even though he can't see it
She truly has a kind soul
ppl like u always have to say something negative
yeah pamela u always negative
U
But im sure he can feel it
She was raised wonderfully. Kudos to her parents.
What does kudos means?
FluffyGamer123Playz -BloodyYTFoodz credit ♥️
@@ashley_agabao5516 ah ok thanks
But give the girl credit too...
Has nothing to do with parents. Lots of bad parents have good kids. Lots of kids try to tech their parents empathy aswell.
Proud air force veteran, we could use more kind people like this young lady who showed some love to this struggling man who needed some love. Amen😊😊😊😊
The world is a better place because of human beings like her.

i was looking for this comment i knew somebody would mention it lmao
as soon as I heard this I looked for a comment about it.
harry potter is for children
and when you see it in the movies it's gonna be like: "IT'S NOT WEIRD CLARA! IT'S GOOD!"
*It's not weird, Clara, it's good*
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why did he even say that smh
@@CaliforniaGirl49 🤣 that sound weird
Lol ikr 😂😝
as soon as I heard it I went to look for this comment lol
Kids who turned out like Clara are the biggest hope for this crazy world. She was meant to be on that flight.
I believe that God Almighty put Clara and her Mom on that flight on PURPOSE just for Tim!
@@cherylpotter1699 Yesssss
It's children like this young lady that gives me hope for the future.
I can't even imagine how proud this girls parents must be of her.
I’d be so proud like wow I raised a great kid
We are very proud!!! She's my amazing daughter!
@@shereenpx you’re correct! You can’t, and I am her mother.
Did u know corona is actually getting better
@@shereenpx Well, you never know. You shouldn't just assume.
Can't imagine how terrifying the world must be if you're blind and deaf, let alone being on am airplane
Honestly, it sounds quite tranquil.
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 i am sorry but it definitely isn't the way it sounds to you. Due to my work i know a few patients that live in this situation.
In case you want to simulate what they go through (but i warn you, you will likely hurt yourself during this experiment) get some in-ear headphones, put some white noise on max volume and put on completely black shades. I don't mean dark shades, i mean get a spraypaint and paint the glasses completely black.
Now, with all that "equipment" just walk from your apartment door to the street (but please no further, and don't walk onto the street!)
after less than half the distance you will most likely know that this is very far from tranquil if it's your everyday situation. I only tried being blindfolded for a few hours while walking around and doing stuff and it was still quite an eye-opening experience, even though i was able to use my hearing. Without my hearing i couldn't have done that experiment for more than maybe a few minutes and would be bruised all over.
@@XpVersusVista This should be the top comment. thanks for the explanation
@@XpVersusVista wow.
Imagine how terrified he was when she spelled out for him that he was ON an airplane! He was like WHAT? How did that happen?
This young woman was raised with love, compassion, empathy, and intelligence. Her parents did a wonderful job.
People with communication disabilities often mean no harm. They just want to have a conversation with someone to let everyone know they are also humans! Nice story and a girl with a big heart!
This is why I think teaching ASL in school is just as important as any other language taught!
In my school we have ASL and I'm currently taking it as a language, its so amazing
@@shanadas3 Hii sorry this is super random but i'm homeschooled and am trying to find useful websites and books so i can take asl do you have any suggestions?
People only ever wanna teach Spanish not everyone wants to learn that or is good at that my grandma wasn't good at Spanish but she was younger they let her pick and now she knows sighn language while I'm over here having to learn something that I think should be a choice
honeycat luckyyy
Yes I started learning ASL in elementary school summer school classes because my best friends parents were deaf so they taught me some and I thought it was cool and wanted to learn more so I could talk to them better. So one of my teachers parents owned the deaf school near us so during the summer I got to take some ASL classes and then I ended up stopping in middle school cuz I got sick. But the high school I went to offered it as a foreign language like class, because starting in elementary school all through little school we had to leave Spanish and German and then once you hit high school you pick between Spanish, German, French or ASL
Why can’t this girl get rewarded with a scholarship like the last one
Edit: y’all really be arguing over this, i just think this girl is especially sweet and deserves something for it please don’t try to argue over this lmao
Same question
So you basically just have to be a decent human being to get a scholarship
She’s a 15 year old, she still has a few years to go until she can reach collage
@@maeybee4354 many people can't even be a decent human being. When govt. can spend millions and billions on weapons then why can't they pay for a students college .
@@ninjagaming5060 I didn't say they can't or shouldn't do it 🙄 I just said it cuz no one is getting a scholarship for something like that in my country
Blind and deaf must be so horrifying. Such a blessing for him to meet this young lady who is so brave to be his voice for a brief moment in time. A truly beautiful and kind young lady in such an ugly and hateful world we live in, I wish her the best. And lets not forget the flight attendant that made the efforts to reach out to this poor man, that in itself shows a great deal of concern for others, she could have just as easily walked by the man as so many have done before.
the young lady is an angel. what a beautiful thing she did for a stranger
"A beautiful reminder, in this time of too much awfulness..."
2018, let me introduce you to 2020.
Agreed, I wasn't sure what that meant?
Awesome comment
ik
And dreading 2021...
Come on.. it's not THAT bad. We have the highest standard of living that humans have EVER had in the history of the universe. Literally nobody had it EVER as good as us right now. Surely wearing a lightweight mask and washing our hands more often isn't a reason to cry about how horrible our lifes are. Because for most of us that is literally the only real impact corona has so far.
when he said "its not weird CLARA, its good" i felt slighty threatened lmao
clara ruth I was like what is she talking about then he said it 😂
Omg it is you
Yeh he sounded angry 😂
i was confused for a sec and then i looked at ur user omg skskskks
Ahmad Sheikh-Ali WOAH THERE BUDDY
She was a teen that could have easily said, "oh no. An old person. And even worse: he's both blind and deaf!". Thank God Almighty that this teen had one of the biggest hearts ever!
I still have faith that there’s still good people like her out there.
Sadly most people aren't like this. 😕 😥😞
She said, "Doing something like that is what anyone would have done." No sweetheart, it's not... and that's the problem. Bless you child... you are a kind and gentle soul.
Angry deku uhm?? what do black people have to do with this??
No need to be condescending on such a sweet video.

I am deaf but not blind ...I have seen this Often in my deaf world ... this young girl who helped deaf and blind man I want to say thank you for your kindness to my people and my world
I am going blind. But learned sign language a long time ago. Would always try to help someone in need.
Brian Plummer I'm deaf
I agree. human interactions like these are very rare may not seem like much to most people but it does mean the world to those who can't see or hear. This young girl was kind enough to help him and was even willing to stay with him for the remainder of the flight. Pure of Heart. the world needs more people like her in the world.
AmericanSicilian girl thats sounds amazing.
How did you hear This then?
She said anyone would have done it. I disagree, it takes someone with a good heart to want to help someone. What a fantastic lady, a great example to us all.
An exemplary young woman!
He's a Warrior and she's a Angel! Proud of them both🙏
The photo of her looking at him should be on a stamp, so everyone sees what true kindness looks like.
👏❤👏❤
The way she was looking at him moved me. I just finished watching 4 videos of strangers helping each other. This one pushed me over the edge. Thank You.
Her eyes shone with kindness and respect
So true
An excellent idea !
This young woman is a rare bird, she's every bit as beautiful inside as she is outside.
stolen lol
Any surgeon: There are subtle differences.
Well stolen
@COOKIE TAYLOR TBH Yeah, it is rare. Most people don't care. Even if they do, they won't take the time to help. Extreme individualism and a lack of emotional intelligence is very common nowadays.

Doing a Mario Odyssey run the way Nintendo intended, going FAST in MC, gen 4 Random Team every battle, more speeding, then super hard botw!
I saw a sign at my old job saying they needed people who knew sign language. So I'm doing my best to learn it because I had some customers who were deaf.
No...anyone would NOT ❤have done that...that's why this young lady is BLESSED
kudos to the flight attendant who made the announcement and asked for help instead of just ignoring his needs which they could have easily done
A chain of good deeds is beautiful. People raised on good community will carry it wherever they go.
just goes to show what we all can acomplish when we come together and take care of eachother
which is their job, to fulfill the wishes? oh yeah someone is dieing here. How about I just ignore it and not call a doc. No flight attendant ever XD
Sure, but that should be done without saying. Not something to be credited for.
@@risky8811 hopefully the flight attendant is smart enough to not spell dieing like that. Imagine being over 8 years old and being so stupid you spell it that way.
I wonder how hard it is to travel alone while blind and deaf.
Glad she was on that flight to talk to him
But he is deaf how does he hear the story ???
Megan H why would he do that in the first place
[Skalyut] Proictansy uh because he wants/needs to go somewhere
with all due respect.....finger sign.......
Cheetah OBX what do you mean by finger sign?
Beautiful face and beautiful heart!! May the Almighty abundantly bless her!!
Claria is an angel. Humanity and hope to a disadvantage human is true faith. God bless her
She matches every possible definition of the word "beautiful."
so true ! She could've spent the entire flight on her phone. What a good kid !
Bruh
Right right right!!!
@@lottexy Why are you this way?
@@Stormrunner0 cuz a grown person is calling a minor beautiful lol, but she’s definitely beautiful on the inside:)
What a decent young lady
DECENT?
DECENT??
@B L u took it too far u made it a bigger deal then its supposed to be
You all know the definition of “decent”, right?
DECENT!!!
What an absolutely beautiful, BEAUTIFUL young woman. This folks, THIS is a truly beautiful young woman.
I love how she’s like “like, yea I know how to finger spell....!’ Like who doesn’t!? Lmao. Love this girl.
"Its what anyone wouldve done"
Unfortunately its not.
Pike
Maybe if you paid attention you'd know that they said she used finger spelling, which is when you tap your fingers on someone's have a nice day to communicate. It's kind of like Morse code.
I think anyone in that plane who knew sign language wouldve done it.
@@lordgrayfalcon8032 you didnt go to 5th grade didnt you
yada LMFAOOO
cheesecake no. No it’s not. That’s not it at all sweetie. Oml. Finger spelling is when you sign each word letter by letter. It’s pretty self explanatory. Stop spreading misinformation please. This is so wrong.
Everyone is commenting how wonderful this young woman is, and she is, of course, but nobody is saying anything about the courage of someone making his way through his entire life both blind AND deaf . Can any of you even imagine how scary that must be? Going through life in total silence and total darkness.
oddly enough, thinking about it, that is the life of a plant but with movement
I was questioning myself just about that. It is indeed terrifying. I can't begin to image the loneliness he felt during his life
his whole life? MAybe he got it with age?
@@mangomariel That's scarier. At least you don't know what you're missing out if you were born like that.
@@TillTheLightTakesUs Well we would not know right? Anyways IF I could pick blind my entire life or blind half my life, I would definitly pick half.
Thank you Clara, I am neither blind nor deaf but I am human and love seeing people be kind to others.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Don't ever underestimate the human spirit to do good in this world.
“Yeah I TOTALLY know how to finger spell.”
That’s the coolest thing ever.
I would love how to do that
Yeah, obviously, who doesn't know how to finger spell? :p
She knows 2 different type of finger language
@@debob513 oh my goodness
LOL! I loved how she said that. True teenspeak. Haha!!
Don't say, "We need more people like them"
Say, "I will be like them".
Yes
good point dont tell other to do do it yourself
Very true
True!
You’re comment does not match you profile photo
Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
What a beautiful young woman inside and out... be blessed
“no captions are available for this video”
Lool the irony😂😂🤦♀️💔
Omg 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I logged on wondering if anyone noticed this too. Hard of hearing has left the chat 🤦🏻♀️
hate that for everyone
ongggggg i had to get my sister to interpret for me
OOF
Times like this is why ASL should be accepted by colleges as a foreign language.
So sorry to say David B but it's ASL (American sign Language). ALS is Lou Garret's Disease, just FYI brother.
Michael Galey thanks, typo.
Every country has their own form of sign language. Rather than calling it a foreign language - how about calling it a second language?
blueraineee I know they do. I guess 2nd language sounds and makes more sense.
it is at my university
What a brilliant young lady .
I used to work with deaf-blind children. And I learned so much from them. Met a few deaf-blind adults and it amazes me how they can quickly spell out words letter by letter! The world is filled with amazing people with different gifts. Let's love and appreciate them all.
We need sign language in school!!!! I really wanna learn it’s been years and I still don’t know how to learn the sign language I hope all schools over the world need this to teach at school because it’s an important language that u may find 2 knows of each 200 people
I want to learn it tbh, don't have the money for lessons tho
Zainab Abdulaziz I’ve been learning sign language for a few months and a really good website to learn is handspeak it’s free and has videos to show you how to sign it’s truly amazing and good luck in your journey
@@maddyh1301 yeah that is a great website. I use it all the time to teach myself
Most schools actually have it as a class

Depressing thought for the day: He's probably not been allowed to interact with anyone during the pandemic due to social distancing rules
You are right, oh my god, that is so sad!
Oh..... that is sad
Yeah, that is an awful thought and probably true. Sad.
@12B_15_Ashwini Baxla I think the person is trying to say that we’ve got the pandemic going on now so he must be somewhere and not being allowed to have contact with anyone so he must be lonely which is sad, we know this was 2 years ago but he’s still living around somewhere now.
At least where I live caretakers are exempt from certain regulations as many disabled people need different support and should get it regardless. :)
A man in his condition should not be traveling alone. Thank you Clara for being there and helping him.
Why not? I'm sure his family and friends wouldn't have let him do the trip if he didn't have skills to do so. There are many rehab services to teach people how to live independently with sensory and other disabilities. Even if he doesn't have family or friends, someone in his life had to have said ok I will let this happen because it he has training
Not saying it wasn't kind of her to help, but people with disabilities can get sensitive about topics of independence
Not only is she a beautiful girl, but she has a beautiful heart. May she live forever.
He sounds so mad “It’s not weird Clara, it’s good.”
That is what I was thinking. lol lol
That is amazing. Blind and Deaf is a very lonely life. Yet this girl help him far more than she realizes. Human interaction is challenging. Bless this girl for knowing sign language and being willing to stay with him through out the flight.
I wanna be that guys friend now so he wont feel lonely. This makes me sad now. I can imagen how lonely he must get. Even i, that i have eyes and can hear still feel lonely.
An old fashion handy 🖐 would have felt better
@@nagatouzumaki2827 I can over think things to the n'th degree, and can absolutely imagine his loneliness, it's a very scary anguishing thought.
How is he blind and deaf if he was also blind how would he see the sign language?
@@crystalgvmations7060 what she did was not normal sign language because you are right he can't see that she used tactile signing which is writing words or letters on someone's skin with your finger to communicate.
It’s scary enough to be lost on your own now imagine being on a plane and not being able to see or hear. Thank god for this angle that came to help. The way she looked at him made me feel better about the world today. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I felt it, when she said he was just lonely and wanted to talk.
It must be soffocating for him not hearing or seeing. This made my day 🙃
the fact that she was giving help and worried about getting it wrong is priceless. it shows her humanity and compassion. what a beautiful soul.
It shows nothing you fool
@@oldmate99 Shush
@@oldmate99 your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. Clearly.
What a beautiful & kindness to take time to help someone in need Awesome ! Thanks for being there for that man !
This young lady has a beautiful future ahead of her !!!❤
As a former Flight Attendant, this passenger should have had information about his needs. Along the way from check-in, security clearance & boarding an airline employee should have stepped in to help. He should have also had a specific seat assignment so the crew could assist him when needed. Thank goodness for this young lady❤. So much for customer service
Anesthesiologist here. I learned that my patient the next day was deaf mute, so I looked up sign language and learned the basics or what I needed to tell her and what things I needed from her. All the while, nurses, staff and the patient would write down their conversation. When I came inside the room the next day, and signed “Hi, good morning,” I immediately saw some relief in her eyes and knew there was a big grin behind her mask. I learned just enough to be able to communicate and understand her.
Lovely, On-Duty Angel! Lovely! 🌈 🕊 🌈
Sounds like a wonderful and fun thing to do. If what you say is true, I salute to that. Have a good day. :)
Kudos to you for taking the time to do that.
You are freaking awesome
That is wonderful. Whenever I have surgery I have wanted the anesthesiologist to look me in the eye and it is like y'all are trained on how to look the patient right back in the eye with such understanding, humanity and gravitas. It is so reassuring and instantly builds a bond without words but going that extra step to learn a little bit of sign language was very kind and I am sure meant the world to her.
Her name "Clara" means light, illumination" very cool that she shed light into a blind man's world
Amazing❤❤
It was meant to be!!
It’s like she was supposed to be on that flight.
it means clear in all latin languages
@@StanleyKubick1 I didn't know that, very cool. I was referencing the Scandinavian interpetitaion as my grandmother was a Danish women named Clara Belle. If I remember correctly it is a pretty
widespread name with star being the Russian translation and the Greek have another translation.
I bet her last name is Lux. :)
Hoping this young lady goes far in life. What a sweet girl.
She is so cute, "I hope I don't spell anything wrong."' Her character and kindness is amazing.
Clara: It's weird I'm getting so much attention for doing that...
Host: It's not weird, it's good.
It's good she gets attention and it's bad that her action is seen as something extraordinary.
It's seen that way only because the media paints it like that. I doubt anyone able to sign like she did would have refused helping him.
It is extraordinarily because the person who needed help was so very vulnerable, and it is more extraordinarily still it was a beautiful child with the skill set to help this very vulnerable adult. Usually it would be an adult. Think of it like a beautiful sunset. You should stop and admire it even if the sun sets everyday. Each sunset is extraordinary, as is each act of human kindness. Human kindness is all around us and if we don't see it then we can create it ourselves. You don't have to wait till you see a deaf and blind man, you can just be kind to a McDonald's employee or call your grandmother.
The story reflects how beneficial to learn sign language is to society. I’m sorry you missed that moral of the story and instead twisted it into a negative.
@@WarrenPuffet That and that it was beautiful that a child was the one with the skills to help this man. Human kindness is always worth stopping to admire.
I feel the same way, it is sad that it is an act of exceptionaliam to be decent to another human being
My gf took ASL 101 and 102 in college and the amount of people that she’s able to help and make an impact is amazing
I'd love it if sign language was taught in school as part of the core curriculum. I've used the very basic sign language I learned outside of school a lot more than the foreign languages I had to learn in school. Adding sign language as a core subject would be so empowering and inclusive for those who rely on it to communicate :)
Dang I really need to learn to at least finger spell
@@jessicataylor7174 wouldn't it be of more benefit to make Spanish or Mandarin mandatory? Many people actually use them. Punjabi has more practicality than sign. Urdu even.
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 How would learning Spanish, Mandarin or Punjabi help deaf people be included within their community?
i have a cousin that recently got her Masters in it from Gallaudet University. she has literally the same attitude as the young lady in the video. we're all quite proud of her.
she is a beautiful lady in looks and spirit her future husband is going to be one lucky guy.
Her parents are to congratulate for raising her with love and kindness. Young lady will be a blessing to everyone who encounter her. Thank you God for this precious gift.
I’ve been watching these type of videos and crying for the last hour.
Grow up snowflake lol
Same
I do that sometimes 😂 these kinds of videos and anything with babies or animals! It's the little things in life, right😊
Me, too. That girl was awesome. I love her for what she did. Just when I am about to totally give up on this world as it is today, someone wonderful shows up to still give me hope.
Sameeeee
way to go Clara !! Happy to see some of the younger generation stepping up . we need more like her. 🙂
I got goosebumps!! What a kindness, there is so much hate and indifference in this world that this kind of kindness is worth more than all the money in the world, it's more than amazing!! Big shout out to Clara!!!!!!! And a big hug too, also to that man! Lots of love to all that are good at heart, Pinkie
Imagine being alone in a dark room for 20 years. I would kinda feel lonely too. Poor guy.
Can one feel lonely without experiencing other humans though?
Edit: not lonely as in the way he is but if someone was locked alone in a dark room since they were 1 day old would they feel lonely? I think they'd assume it as normal
Interesting way to look at it, ive also thought about it like that
@@KuzkayDev If you didnt eat(nourish the body) since day 1, would you feel hungry? Your logic assumes no.
Same goes with feeding the soul. Thats why babys cry until someone hugs them.
Edit: You can only get very skinny and therefore adapt and need less food. And this mans soul is skinny as a needle.
@@Fitratul By no means. Nourishment is a requirement to the human body, but loneliness is different. Loneliness is something mental, I could argue that in order to be lonely you must have experienced non loneliness because things which relate to mental constructs or knowing require knowledge, and knowledge is acquired, not inherent to the mind (or consciousness).
@@dudicorn6503 Let's look at it this way: In order to be on this world you have to be born. Meaning you had at least 9 months contact with another human (your mom). There is currently no way around that, meaning you can't nullify contact, some kind of social interaction and warmth. Now let's go further. How would you lock the test subject up? How big is the room? Are the walls painted? Is there a window? Is there any kind of sound the subject could hear, like noises from outside? Let's say no to all of these. The subject is in a room, similar to a padded cell and never saw a human being before, however it heard the voice of its mother, while still being in the uterus and it was born in a natural way. Without contact to humans, the subject would never learn to talk, walk, eat. And that's another factor: How do you feed the subject? It will never learn to cook without human contact so you need to provide food, meaning there will be contact again. I doubt there is actually a way to bring a human onto the world while also denying them all kinds of human interaction whatsoever. That human will eventually see that there are other humans and therfore feel lonely.
She needs to give herself more credit. Because that is not something everyone else would have done.
That is the action of a truly good person with compassion and love.
CLARA YOU ROCK!!!
I mean... Whenever you help others you lose out on the opportunity that not helping would have given you. In this case what she lost out on was part of the time of a flight... Not exactly a high cost for her. I think most (if not all) people would have helped in her situation. The remarkable part of the story is that she had the SKILLS to do it.
Had I been in her situatiion and had the skills I would have helped on the flight. But if you asked me to donate my time on a regular basis to help people like him I would be less inclined to do it, because the cost to me would be higher.
I learned the ASL hand gestures for the alphabet when I was a kid. I did it for fun, and signed a few words for fun with my siblings. But we only did it during one long, hot summer. It has been decades since that time, and I've forgotten most of the gestures. It isn't hard to relearn it.
*"It's not wierd Clara, it's good."*
People don't like to be bothered even if it's to help someone. She's a beautiful person...inside and out!
She was raised wonderfully. Kudos to her parents.
This breaks my heart. Imagine you can’t see and hear. So be thankful if you can. Thanks for helping dear.
Totally beautiful. It's so refreshing to see such acts of kindness and compassion. This young lady is an example of inspiration and good news that our world needs today.
" He was lonely " that almost made me cry but definitely made me sad
I don't think this young lady realizes just how much she did. And not just anyone would've done it. Wonderful young woman
That is how it should be, she just.. helped and didn't think it was a big thing, which makes it even bigger
This young woman knows the definition of "love thy neighbor", something that's lost on a lot of people today.
It’s not “something anyone would have done”
It’s something you did because your mind and heart are full of kindness compassion and empathy, others would not have done this that’s the difference.
Need more people like you to come forward with random acts of kindness ❤️
Not everyone knows Sign Language either! I know Sign Language.
This is sweet. Me being 14 it actually makes me want to learn the sign language alphabet because that's a decently small task and I already know a decent amount.
What a great girl. If she isn't being humble it would be sad to think that she is naive enough to think that this is something that "anyone would do," sadly that isn't the case. She deserves the praise she is getting.
she's just humble, but *wishes* that were the case.
“He was just lonely and wanted to talk...they talked for an hour.” A teenager can talk to any random stranger for an hour easily! 😂💖💖
haha i couldn't even talk to my classmates at that age for an hour, let alone a stranger 😂
But when i was younger, in elementary school, i always went to a fence with a big dog that liked me to pet him. one day an old man with a cane came by on a stroll and started talking to me about the dog. I kept going there over and over again to pet the dog and talk to the old man for easily an hour or more. Turns out the man was a world war 2 veteran and was shot 5 times in total. He lived in the building right next to the one with the dog and always took a walk around the block. Such a great guy. One day he didn't turn up anymore sadly, i guess either he passed or his health deteriorated too much.
Thanks that you made me think about this, the memories of that time make me happy :)
The proceeding decades would be better if more youth spent time with their elders. They seldom do anymore. The Western societies need our youth to humble themselves before the traditional wisdom of the ages as much as possible! It's a wonderful thing :)
@@XpVersusVista And you would have made that gentleman happy just sharing your time with him. Thank you for being kind and considerate to an elderly person.
Not true but...okay?
Easy? She has to use her hands, not her mouth
1:22 she is an amazing person, and so humble. she gives me hope for humanity, honestly.
If that wasn't Heaven and Earth moving together I don't know what else to think. Clare is so mature, compassionate and kind. Tim's face showed such gratitude. The two looked like old friends. Too bad Tim couldn't see Clare's beautiful face and hear her beautiful voice but he could feel everything in her gentle hands.
She clearly is a good person, but I agree with her when she suggests that anyone (well most people) would have done this if they were able to.
I think most people would've liked the thought of helping but I don't think that most people would've ACTUALLY helped, regardless of whether they could or not.
@@suqmaddiqq yeah it takes confidence a lot of it
Agreed. I will assist strangers in need if I can. I don't know signing, though. Maybe I should learn the basics.
She's a real living angel.
"Yeah, I TOTALLY know how to fingerspell!" ❤️
Way to go Clara! Love to see kindnesses like this! We need stuff like this. Your parents must be proud. ♥️
Claire you have a lot of understanding for people with a disability maybe is your purpose in life help people you are very kind young lady
Jesus Christ loves you !!! So much that he took up the cross and died for our sins. See I was once lost, pretending to be happy but dying inside, smoking to forget the feeling of emptiness I felt within. As I ran a long with the world , denying what Jesus did on that cross. nevertheless his grace and mercy reached me one day when I was on the verge of taking my life. He gave me a new name, opened up my eyes and changed my whole entire life. Never was I the same again. And he can do that with you as well. Just let him inside your heart. I love you and will be praying for you ❤️
marisol juarez praise daddy Lucifer
PabloThePabo um wut
@Mr. Goodbar like anyone else people earn that.
What a great kid-“HE WAS LONELY AND WANTED TO TALK😍”
One letter at a time, they had a complete conversation👏🏽👏🏽
AWESOME JOB 👍🏽
I cried when I watched this clip and I thought to myself "what a beautiful angel on earth"!!!!
Bring on the day when it isn't "random". Bring on the day when it isn't news. Good for her.
"Something anyone would have done" its sad how wrong she is...
Show me the people who can sign, that would refuse...
@@tapoemt3995 she didn't say another person who knows sign... she said "anyone" referring to the mass majority of people just like i was..
@@BSUxFAN29 "Anyone" would have to be someone who signs, otherwise, they could not help... She WAS referring to anyone who signs, otherwise she'd be asking why she was the only person on the plane to help him.
@@tapoemt3995🤣 you're dumb.."anyone" means "anyone"... and she would be asking why she's the only person to help either way cause thats my whole point lol Its doesn't matter if other people know how to sign or not, not very many people would be willing to help in the first place.
It is VERY sad
Am i the only one who doesnt understand how this man even learned this language?
You should watch the miracle worker! Amazing movie about the childhood of Hellen Keller, the first deaf and blind person to ever attend university (and much much more)
...you probably don’t know who Helen Keller is either.
Marica
Such an amazing movie!! I loved it when I watched it!
There is an awesome movie called Marie heurtine, it's about a nun that came up with a sistem to teach a girl sign without her sight
It’s called tactile sign language. It’s signing but the person who is doing the signing has their hand placed on the other persons hand so that they can interpret what the signs mean. This is how a person who is blind and deaf communicates. Since they can’t obviously see the signs. Instead they interpret them through touch. It’s pretty cool
Clara you are wrong, not everyone would do that but you did Clara and that's what's important. Thank you
This is what you call a lovely kid wish there was a few more like her in the world

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Her light shines brighter than most people!
