This semester has taught
me so much and has given me such amazing experiences that for me to just pick
one that is most surprising to me is difficult. If I had to pick one, it
would be the Autism talk that I attended as an event. For the past three
years I have babysit three different families that have autistic children so I went
to the even thinking I knew most of the things that these people were going to
talk about. Yet when I got there I realized that it wasn’t some professor
talking to us about people who have autism , instead it was the people who have
lived all of their life with Autism that sat in front of me and talked about
how much they loved their life and what they do everyday. This had really surprised
me. I thought that I was pretty in the know when it came to Autism, but I realized
that I had never really thought about what happens when the kids I babysit grow
up. It never occurred to me that they would have to overcome more obstacles
then everyone else because of their Autism. That talk was one of the best talks
I have even been too and I really enjoyed it.
It may have been one of my favorite things that I did this semester,
even outside of class.
