Blog post by: Melissa
My name is Melissa. I was a stage student in Special Care Counselling (Vanier College) at Allancroft for 10 weeks. I would like to share my experience with you. At first I had difficulty writing this post because I didn't want it to seem sugarcoated. So Iet me start with this: Not all days were/are good days. And that is completely fine, because we are only humans. A reason that this school made me vibrate is that exact understanding: We are all humans. Individually different human beings who have different needs, likes, dislikes, way to communicate, motivations and interests who deserves as much respect and understanding than any other human being. They make it a safe place and try to make it better when things do not go as planned. In the writing of this post, I also considered sharing the wide range of activities/outings/daily routines put in place for the students, such as a morning check-in with smiles and conversations, basket ball, cooking, drama, art craft, discussion on various topics, movies, going to the mall, to the library, to fire department; but I thought the list would be never-ending... So instead, I decided I would just share my appreciation as this was such a great learning opportunity from amazing teachers and support staff members! I will also leave with a little more inspiration from seeing those hard working people, ready to make IT happen. Comments are closed.
