Step by Step 4 Special Needs
Throughout my life, I have learned to be compassionate, understanding, and patient towards others. These traits have been a part of me since an early age. I was blessed with a brother with Down Syndrome. My brother has led an active life in school and in our community. In this, he has been able to overcome his disability. Therefore, I believe that students with disabilities can achieve higher expectations than those established by the norms. I was astonished when I reached high school and became involved with the Life Skill Club.

"CHILL" or Co-operative Hospitality In Learning and Living is a club with the design of allowing students with special needs to form relationships with students in an accepting environment. Everyone should have freinds who they can turn to, even if they are different, while most school offers a variety of clubs to support many kinds of people the special needs population is often overlooked. Our goal as a club is to teach acceptance and good social skills as well as to help those who have been ostracized to be welcomed back into society by their peers.

Reaching Out
I named my project Reaching Out. RO is a club I made in my school where students choose on of their friends and are assigned a child with special needs. The pair of students go to the child's house AT LEAST once a week for about an hour and if they want they can go for even longer. What we do is we give the pair of students the name and number of the child and they call up the parents to see when they can hang out with the kid. There are many kids in my community who have special needs, who need our help.

The Bequia Sunshine Project, a College of William and Mary student-led, international service learning trip was established to address both the superficial and underlying educational needs in Bequia. Bequia, one of the St. Vincent and Grenadines islands, is a small 5 ½ mile long island whose drastic needs, like many other Caribbean islands, are often overlooked, due to its small population and poor economy.
