I have always loved volunteering with programs that reach out to children with disabilities such as Special Olympics and Miracle League. I also loved working with disabled children in my partners in P. E. class while I was in high school. At the beginning of my senior year I was given the opportunity to work as a home caregiver for a 12-year-old boy with cerebral palsy through an agency called Touch of Class. This job was such a blessing and has inspired me to pursue a career in occupational therapy. Becoming closer to the little boy and his family, I accompanied them to a Christian family camp for families that have members with disabilities. This camp further fueled my passion for working with these children who see the true beauty of everyday life and love others with all their hearts.
