When I was in college in the Philippines, I usually volunteer to centers, non profit organization and orphanage. One of the moments that touched my soul is when I celebrated my birthday in the orphanage for kids with special needs. I met a cute 5-year-old boy who has a tube in his throat and can only be fed through a tube in his stomach because of that he couldn't eat the food I prepared. He saw other kids eating ice cream and asked what it taste like using sign language. I was given a go signal to give him some. It was his first taste of ice cream in his entire life. He wasn't able to swallow it because the ice cream just went out of the hole in his throat but still he was happy. I felt like it was my calling to help people with special needs to Ive decided to go in the US and study Psychology to better understand how I can help these wonderful people be more.
