3. Early Perceptions This is how we felt Scared Nervous We honestly expected Chaos Unsure Excited
7. Engagement Activities How it all got started Fundraiser idea VCC Spoke to professor Grosia (Ale) He volunteered to do a show as a fundraiser) however a fundraiser was not needed. We changed it to a concert for the UCP students
13. 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.
Notes de l'éditeur
As we entered the UCP of Kissimmee we all felt a tad bit nervous because we did not know what to expect. As we sat in the waiting room I remember thinking and asking myself how will it be? What if I am alone with the kids? What if I can’t control them?
First we wanted to do a fundraiser for the UCP, however; they were not in need of many supplies. So Sheri spoke to professor Grosia (Ale) and he volunteered a few member of his band to sing a couple songs for the UCP children. We changed it to a concert for the students that attend UCP. And this is what led us to our project .
