well I love my practicum, it's not my real job... not yet. It's only been 3 days but I am in love with what I do! I work as a recreation therapist with kids who have cerebral palsy or other brain-related motor deficiencies. We get them playing sports and games and they just have a fun time. I was scared to start because I have never worked with children with disabilities before, but I enjoy it. The kids are so normal, seriously, half the time I don't even notice that they are any different. Of course most of them are in wheelchairs and alot of them aren't even verbal but that doesn't stop their personalities from shining through.
They're just kids and they are goofy and they laugh and just love to have fun. The group I work with are some of the cutest, sweetest and fun kids I have ever met. I wish I could do this forever!!
