It was evident that in this commercial the young deaf girl was overwhelmed with struggle and frustration in her life, and yet she still managed to find the determination and perseverance to strive for her goals. Being deaf, the girl was held back in many ways. She could not communicate as efficiently as other people are able to and the possibility of playing or hearing music for her is impossible. Knowing this, the girl was not only determined to try learning the violin but to prove to people that she believed she could learn it and that she had the heart to try. After seeing a homeless man play music in the streets, she only wished she could play like him, but was unfortunately held back by her disability. The man knew how bad she wanted to play and he was eager to help her out to put a smile on her face. Most importantly, he wanted her to believe it is possible.
After being born deaf, playing an instrument is certainly something that you would never say is possible. Somehow, this young girl, who grew up in an under-privileged lifestyle had the confidence that she was playing the violin. When the time for the girl to get up on stage and play in front of her audience, it left the audience in awe. To her, the important thing was not going up and being a musical mastermind, it was the fact that she was up there in the first place. In the short four minutes we viewed the commercial we were never quite sure if she actually could play the violin or if she made no sound at all. Not matter what the outcome be, she believed in herself and was proud of her accomplishments. She was up in front of the crowd to prove a point, that even a deaf girl could try to play the violin. She might not be able to produce the most impressive songs but her presence is the only thing that matters. Despite being told by others that she couldn't do it, she put it all behind her and confidently went up on stage knowing that the only goal she had was to prove to others that she was brave enough to try.
