Answer:
An experience that has changed me was when I had my service trip last week Wednesday to last week Friday in helping out the intellectually disabled and spending time with them. From that trip, I got the chance to observe them while they worked in a bakery (in which I choose to be in to help them with), and their moods during the day. They were happy individuals, even though human society casted them aside. They could work like normal human beings, in which I never understood why human society would cast them out. I know that their behavior is a bit off, but if they can work and eat like normal human beings—they deserve to live a normal life.
And, during that trip, I went to another place also full of intellectually disabled people, this time though…they were adults with even more severe cases that it affected their daily lives. And from there I learned that even if those adults couldn’t express their feelings clearly, they still had feelings. While I was there, I accompanied a male adult while he was slowly building something with little wooden geometric figures. He liked to be organized, in which I don’t blame him for…but when he smiled after finishing his masterpiece, it changed how I thought of the intellectually disabled.
