I am currently a second year student at the University of South Carolina, studying exercise science on a pre-occupational therapy track. I was very closely involved with Special Olympics in high school, and volunteered at the local, state, and international level. In addition, I served on the state leadership team my senior year. Through this organization, I met a family with a 17-year-old daughter who has down syndrome. I have worked with her for the past two summers, and have loved getting to know her. I have assisted her in day camps, with occupational tasks around the house, and with socialization activities. This summer, I volunteered with a local flower farm who acts as a job training program for individuals in the area who are autistic. At the farm, I acted as a buddy- ready to assist when prompted, but allowing the individuals to work independently when able.
