This exercise was actually really difficult. I have learned a lot by participating in this activity. I have done activities in my past work experience and put myself in other people’s shoes‚ to see what it was like having disabilities.

She would not stop telling me how much fun she thought it would be. Eventually I gave in and over time I actually got a little excited

staff there‚ I made friends with some freshmen that were also working with me. They started calling me silly names like “broth boy” because at some point I got in charge of sorting canned broths.

When I decided to go that afternoon‚ I was really bummed because I don’t really like service hours and I didn’t want to go on a long and boring service event. However‚ the positive personalities

I remember how when I first walked into a fraternity house on Vanderbilt’s campus‚ I immediately thought that this was a place that I could never belong. Having a disability and identifying as gay‚ I thought that I had somehow faked my way into Vanderbilt and its perfect society. After a few months‚ I ended up feeling like I belonged at Vanderbilt more and I began to realize that there is no "perfect" Vanderbilt student. As I have become more involved in the Vanderbilt community‚ I have always looked

compared to the few other times I’ve had at the river was that it looked like the water level within the American River was rising. After witnessing this it brought to mind how happy river rafters would be to be able to continue to experience what they love. Overall‚ this experience in the rain with the wildlife really opened me up to the reality of it all and what living animals have to endure when they get a little too much rain. A lot of the wildlife that I spotted were for the most part either cuddled
