Aging Wisely: The Podcast- En Español

Amor eterno: Mi vida con Sebastian, mi hermano con sindrome de down

09 Apr 2021

Description

Marcela Sarmiento es hija de inmigrantes colombianos que, en su corte vida, ha logrado muchas de sus metas profesionales y personales. Pero su relación más sagrada, es la que tiene con su hermano menor Sebastián. Sebastián nació con una discapacidad, con síndrome de down. La llegada de su hermano cambio la vida de Marcela y la de sus papas. Como dice ella, le "dio un norte muy específico."  Quizás el oyente no conozca lo que es el síndrome de down o nunca han tenido la oportunidad de interactuar con una persona con el síndrome. Quizás les temen un poco a las discapacidades por falta de educación y quieren desmantelar esa falta de conocimiento. La entrevista con Marcela empieza con el nacimiento de Sebastián en Colombia y nos trae hasta el presente -en los Estados Unidos. El viaje (en todos los sentidos de la palabra) de la familia desde Colombia hasta Nueva York estuvo lleno de momentos difíciles, de sacrificio y lágrimas. Pero también, de amor y felicidad.   Sebastián es un ser especial y no porque tiene síndrome de down. Simplemente, por ser quien es. Marcela Sarmiento is the daughter of Colombian immigrants who, in her short life, has achieved many of her professional and personal goals. But her most sacred relationship is the one she has with her younger brother Sebastián. Sebastián was born with a disability, with down syndrome. The arrival of her brother changed her life and that of her parents. As she says, "it gave it a very specific direction." The listener may not know what down syndrome is or have never had the opportunity to interact with a person with the syndrome. Perhaps they are a little afraid of disabilities due to lack of education and want to dismantle that lack of knowledge. The interview with Marcela begins with the birth of Sebastián in Colombia and brings us to the present - in the United States. The journey (in every sense of the word) of the family from Colombia to New York was full of difficult moments, sacrifice and tears. But also, of love and happiness. Sebastián is a special being and not because he has down syndrome. Simply because of who he is.
