430 Words2 Pages

On Saturday, September 9th, I went to the Enabling Aquatics session at the YMCA in Santa Rosa. I went from 10:15 to 12:40. When I first got to the YMCA I met up with the main coordinator, Kelly, who gave us a tour of the YMCA on where to go and where to sign in when we first arrive. We got in our bathing suits and then we went into the therapy pool (which is a 4 feet deep and 95 degrees), filled with volunteers and students who had disabilities which ranged from autism to cerebral palsy to someone with physical deficiencies. I have worked with children who had disabilities in the past but I haven’t worked as much with adults. I had met up with Dr. Katy and she introduced us to a couple different people such as one person who had the brain

    “You two, get the ball down the pool and take a shot, just make sure it’s inbounds, don’t worry if you miss the goal, Kenzie will get the rebound.” My coach has barked these orders on numerous occasions throughout the year and it has never failed to give me a little thrill inside. As an athlete that tends to go unnoticed, getting acknowledgement in such an offhand way is pretty exciting. It shows me I have a place on the team, a job that my team depends on me to do. Water polo is a very difficult sport.

    Empathy is a very important trait that I believe everyone should strive for. Working with people of all ages with disabilities is both eye opening and humbling, as we often forget how fortunate we are for the simplest things. I personally feel as though I’ve discovered a passion for helping others, as it is apparent that not many others will. I have spent the majority of my high school career stepping up in instances where there was little support. From those experiences, I’ve learned how to manage my time extremely well, communicate with adults in higher powers, and how to lead other students and faculty to be influential members of the community.
