Before starting school here I previously was working with kids. I used to teach kids how to drum and dance after school in different schools. There were always one or two developmentally challenged kids in each of my classrooms. Sometimes it was a bit harder to work with them but coming to this event I kind of knew what to expect. I do plan to work with developmentally challenged kids in my future so you can say I was excited when Mr. Fitzgerald told us that our day was going to be spent with something I wish to pursue in my future. Obviously, our group were older than whom I used to work with but there was not much of a difference. Most people don’t know that these are just regular people like anybody else they just have to try a bit harder. I wish I was more happy and as excited for everything as some of the people we met on Tuesday were. Watching how excited they were to do karaoke and when we were in the gym was amazing to see how involved they were. I wish that I was as carefree as they are about what people think about them. At the end of the day as we were saying good bye, Daniel had told me that he had a good time with us and that warmed my heart. Just him saying that made me happy to know that I was involved in making someone's day with the rest of my classmates.
