What do you like the most about FC? I like so much about Friendship Circle. I love to see all the kids participating in special activities, camps, and other programs. I really enjoy going to Sunday Circle every Sunday knowing that I will either meet a new friend or bond with an old one! It is very exciting to see buddies bond. It feels amazing to have your buddy run up to you and greet you with a hug.
What activities do you do with your special friends? An activity that I find very enjoyable to do at Friendship Circle is arts and crafts with my friend! The kids love the variety of art projects that change from week to week. I love chasing my buddy around the gym while they ride a mini bike, play basketball, or pretend they are chasing each other in police cars! It is very special to see how the kids who come back make new friends and build relationships through different activities.
How has your involvement impacted your life? My involvement with Friendship Circle has impacted my life in so many ways. I have learned so much about myself and the people around me. I have had so many amazing experiences that have changed me as a person and made me grow as both a volunteer and a friend. I have learned patience, empathy, adaptability, and many other things through my volunteering. Everytime I come to Friendship Circle I learn something new that can benefit me in so many ways!
How will your participation affect your future? In my future, I hope to work with kids with special needs in either a school setting or something more like a therapy setting. Friendship Circle has allowed me to learn more about myself and has taught me the importance of everybody having exciting opportunities as a child. Through Sunday Circle I have experienced so many amazing opportunities that helped shape me into the person I am today.
