Reflection of your

Experience

How has this experience effected you?

This experience truly taught me that students with various

conditions can learn to interact together and become educated

like many mainstream children.

What experiences had the most impact?

Like I stated earlier I was very nervous for the unknown. The

most impacting part from my experience was when I saw the

children will all sorts of disabilities sit nicely with supervision and

enjoy a mini concert. Their beautiful faces seemed so drawn on

the show that nothing else in the world mattered.

What will you take away from the experience?

I will take with me the knowledge and understanding that

students can learn no matter what their condition may be.
