Bocce

disabilities play a game they love. An organization that is making this possible is the Miracle League of Plymouth, which is a baseball league for children of all ages with disabilities. The kids are able to bat, run the bases and play different positions. Another thing that I have learned would be the importance of being a volunteer. I loved working with Evan and other students at school with disabilities; I got involved with the Miracle League of Plymouth, Special Olympics, and Unified Sports. Volunteering with Miracle League is always so much fun. I get to help the kids bat, run the bases, and field. Special Olympics was an amazing opportunity. With my high school we all traveled to Central Michigan University for a whole day to play Bocce ball. We all had a partner and played another pair of partners from a different school in Michigan. My partner and I were very competitive and tried out best to come in first place, but sadly we lost by one point so we came in second place. Organizations need volunteers to fulfill their mission, having volunteers are important because if organizations did not have them they would not be able to get bigger and help more people. From this friendship it also directed me to wanting a career as a special education teacher. I want to be a special education teacher because I enjoy working with children with disabilities. During elementary school when I was working with Evan during class I realized that I needed to make the lesson…

I can remember us kids having competitions to see who could drink the most pop in the night. A friend of the family, who's name is Chazz, would always win. I can remember one year he drank 23 pops! I usually got to 2 to 3 then I was done with them. Then for the rest of the night I would stick to water. While waiting to light off the fireworks we play games out in the grass. My grandma has a sand volleyball court that we would always have tournaments on. They usually go on for a while. When we…

exercise and personal growth through activity and a healthy lifestyle. Ann is probably the most active 75 year old I have ever met, and is more active than the grand majority of college students that I’m acquainted with. She makes it a priority to make it to the MAC at least three times a week, attend line dancing at St. Clair on Tuesdays, as well as play bocce ball at the center when she can. Her viewpoint on exercise was surprising to say the least because she talked about staying active…

Coast. My sister and I love to collect seashells and swim. While we swam in the warm ocean water we would stepped on seashells to stop them from getting caught in the mighty wave current, then we picked them up. We gathered many beautiful seashells on Captive. We also went to Naples Beach, which that water felt colder than Captiva. Something I enjoyed was that the sand felt warm on my toes. Lastly, we traveled to Fort Myers Beach. That beach smelled gross! Since the wind was very chilly that…
