429 Words2 Pages

I decided today was an appropriate day for a journal reflection. I just hosted my first YAP program all by myself. Now you are probably asking yourself, “what is YAP?” YAP stands for Young Athlete Program in which I took full charge of here at Nova Southeastern University. This is a program that meets once a week with children roughly between the ages of 3-8 years old. Most of my children in my class mainly have trouble focusing on one simple task and ranges from one boy whom is only able to walk with assistance. Sounds like a lot of responsibility… Well it is and surprisingly I loved today! It was such a cool feeling to be the “big guy” in charge. These parents are bringing their children to me in hopes that we can improve their motor skills

    These students at Hope Academy all have disabilities and taking extra time out of your day will help them develop learning skills and also help them become more sociable. From all the information given about Hope Academy I knew what to expect as soon as I walked in.

While volunteering you can tell that everyone there loves their job and enjoys every bit of developing the students.

I search the stands to find the one person who has been there for me my entire life. Only he’s not there. It’s easy to get caught up in the game; not the game of basketball, but the dope game.

    I knew there will be going to be children, but I never expect younger children and older children coming to the event especially kids who are only few months old. I never thought I would be working with such a young child, and it was interesting how we work with these younger kids compare to 10 years old. It was totally different, and it was a great experience to work with kids at that young age and also with older kids. I expected families will join their kids and participate, and they did. Parents and their children join in together and having fun.
