I learned a lot right from the beginning, and knew what to expect. Also getting down the movements in the wheelchairs was crucial. It really was important to see how the modifications were being used at first. The games were also incredibly fun. It was interesting to see how everyone reacted as well when we first started playing the games. It seemed like anyone who was blindfolded was very nervous at first, which is understandable. It was easy to see that a good guide was important, without that the people who were blindfolded weren’t really into that game as much. This always bummed me out some since this class has the potential to be so much fun, but it’s hard when you can’t see. You almost would become intimidated. I also learned quite quickly that the wheelchairs could really get moving, and be quite dangerous if you weren’t paying attention. This led to very unexpected falls, running into each other, and even sometimes crushing my foot. (Ouch!) Overall though the beginning of the class was very important, without the first four weeks of watching, and participating in the games I nor do I think anyone else would’ve stood a chance at being able to modify or even attempt to play these
