Service Hours

For my service hours I volunteered at Journeys-Developmental Disability Agency. I shadowed one of the workers (who also happens to be my roommate) for a few days while she was working with some children who have disabilities. We took them to the library, took them out to eat, and just payed games with them. It was interesting to see the ad the vast difference between kids. Some had the same disability, but they reacted very differently. Doing these service hours helped me to realize how difficult, yet rewarding it can be to work with children with disabilities. They threw temper tantrums, but then afterwards would come up to us and hug us and want to kiss us on the cheek. It may be exhausting, but it was also very fun.
