Best Buddies Program Reflection
One event from my own experience is the best buddies program at my school. This program at my school allows disabled students from my school along with students to participate in sports against disabled students from other high schools in the area. Most recently my school had best buddies basketball and best buddies track. Students from my school also attend these events, so this program has been very positive and really inspiring to my school and community. I actually attended one of these games myself and it taught me how meaningful it was to the disabled students. By being able to compete and have fun they were able to have the experience of being apart of a team and playing for their school. This would not have been available if it wasn't

    Summary: Hoops For Haiti

    During my high school years approximately around my sophomore/ junior year my basketball team including I myself attended the Hoops for Haiti fundraiser that Meredith Elementary school hosted. Hoops for Haiti helps aid the disaster relief fund that is held in Haiti. Hundreds of elementary school children paid $5 each for a chance to play with not only Neumann-Goretti’s women’s basketball team but also the men’s team too. All proceeds were meant to go directly to rebuild and fund schools in Haiti. I decided to talk about this specific service that I participated in because not only was it fun but I got to interact with kids younger than me and was able to put smiles on their faces, those who were there and hopefully those in Haiti knowing that they do have people who care and want to help them out in every way possible.…

    Reddie To Serve Research Paper

    Often times you see athletes performing dominating blocks, making big hits, or making acrobatic catches. However, athletes have much more to offer off their respective playing surfaces that goes unseen. Here at Henderson State University athletes are supposed to epitomize what a college student in Arkadelphia should be. We’re depended upon to be campus leaders to our peers and set examples verbally as well as through our actions. Sometimes we’re seen as intimidating individuals do to our outer appearance but we’re empathetic to others just as others. Our athletic program is set on allowing our athletes to give back to our community and school through participation in various events that occur throughout the calendar year. By providing opportunities for student-athletes to serve, these young men and women make meaningful contributions to society. Teams as well as individual student-athletes are involved in numerous charity and community organizations, schools and hospitals. Some student-athletes have also created, initiated and implemented service projects/activities. One specific event, Reddie to Serve, allows us just this amble opportunity to show our gratitude and appreciation back to the citizens of…

    Personal Narrative: The First Drexel-Censored Events

    The first Drexel-sponsored event I attended was on Saturday, September 12th for the ropes course. Part of the welcome week festivities, this event offered several activities geared towards not only introducing us to one another, but learning how to work on a task as a collective group. The main theme of the day was teambuilding through a variety of both physical and mental exercises, all with the emphasis of building bonds with other students that would carry over to the school year. I believe the day was able to far surpass the surface of that goal. All the games required full participation in order to succeed, helping to motivate those who would have otherwise watched from the sidelines. This encouragement of all the players helped give…

    Co-Op Reflection

    From working on these three assignments over the past few weeks, I learned a great deal of information dealing with some issues pertaining to both One-Mile and the Chico Co-op. From doing research on One-Mile, I learned that there are a lot of problems concerning the homeless issue and cleanliness of the park. The issues dealing with the Co-op were mostly centered around their relocation situation. At the moment, relocation is the Co-op’s main goal but they are experiencing problems with finding the ideal, sustainable location that will keep their users satisfied. Finding out the specifics of these problems was quite challenging. I had to look into each source even further to find more information with both place’s problems. The research methods…

    Personal Narrative: The Boys And Girls Club Of America

    The Boys and Girls Club of America helps thousands of Americans each year as a daycare, escape from home, way to meet new friends or to eat a sustainable meal that they wouldn’t be able to get at home. Another way that the Boys and Girls Club benefits kids is by having organized sports where the players can develop competitiveness, teamwork and become coachable. As someone who volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club I am able to experience all of the good that goes on both within and outside of business hours. As I wrap up my high school career and go on to the next stage in my life I often find myself looking back at not only those who helped shaped me into the person I am today but also the extracurricular activities I participated in. The Boys and Girls Club is one thing that continually pops into my head with the activities I partook in as well as the children and adults alike, without these experiences I would not have devolved my love for basketball, been so willing to give back to the community, or have been showed the do’s and don’ts of parenting.…

    National Honor Society Character Analysis

    In high school, I joined Zonta Club to be involved with school and community. Zonta Club gave me an opportunity to reach out to people that had helped others and inspired other students to do the same. One of the unforgettable moments was when I volunteered in a fundraiser to help Alzheimer's disease. It was an event, called Rock-a-Thon, where kids and adults were together to raise awareness those who had the disease. Everyone was participating in the activities that were available in the event. There were games that both kids and elders could play with. They showed stories about the importance of being aware and helping those with Alzheimer’s disease. The event had shaped my views on giving back to the community. Service was not only about giving back, but it is also about learning from others. The joy that the people had even when there was a sickness in their life was incredible. It made me realize how I was fortunate to be living a life without the disease. The fundraiser had made me learn about the people in my town and the obstacles that had to endure and were still enduring. The event had impact the involvement and the appreciation I have over the…

    “Forty five percent of children in America live in low-income families” (Child Poverty 1). The many negative effects a low-income environment causes can greatly impact a child’s life. Keeping these children motivated to be successful and to get out of this negative environment can be difficult. As a Sport Management major, I plan to serve the common good by volunteering my time working with local high school volleyball teams located in Pontiac, Michigan. My goal is to motivate these young women to finish high school and get out of Pontiac.…

    Bearcat Buddies Reflection

    An example in which I recall this law being exhibited would be this semester in Bearcat Buddies. In the community outreach program, there came a point at which we had a group reflection for tutors with the program. At this reflection, one theme arose on several occasions, the school had given too much work to be completed in an hour and that student growth was believed to be hindered by the rapid progress of each session. I recognized that everyone in the room valued the growth of their buddy, and so I saw an opportunity to help those around me grow to become better tutors. I stated my personal insight…

    Out Of My Mind Analysis

    From reading the book Out of My Mind, people with disabilities should be included in regular school activities for the following reasons. They also have brains and are as smart as any other student. Also, they will have an opportunity to feel normal like any other student. This exposure to kids with disabilities will also give the normal kids a chance to have diversity in the classroom. In the book Out of My Mind, the details show that people with disabilities should be included in regular school activities.…

    1.2 Describe with examples how different aspects of development can affect one another

    A child that has a disability affecting their motor function will find difficulty participating in school sports activities. If they are unable to participate and have to be kept out of these activities, they may feel socially withdrawn. Team sports help children to create friendships through team building exercises, which in turn develop their social skills. If the child can’t join in, they may struggle to make friends and will be missing out on this social development.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Unified Sports Team

    Throughout my softball career I have been a team player and leader. I often played as a utility player adapting to the team’s needs. My sophomore year of high school, myself and another teammate were co-captains. After getting hurt that season, I decided on starting the first Unified sports team at my high school. When creating the program, I wanted to create an inclusive environment that fostered teamwork and sportsmanship between people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities and those without disabilities. I believe that by playing sports myself was very instrumental in the success of the program I established. The Unified team that I play on has some of the best comradeship I have had on a team. Personally, I have seen a change in my sportsmanship. I have seen a return of the care-free pure enjoyment of…
