Before visiting the Hospital for Special Care Adaptive Sports Program in New Britain, I did not realize all the hard work that goes into working in the adaptive sports program. At first I thought the adaptive sports program was for people who had difficulties playing sport and nothing more. However, after visiting the site, I was completely wrong.

He informed us that the players do not participate because they have to, but because they love the sport in and of itself. From hearing everything the tour guide was telling the class, I feel the inner pride in him. I realized that he truly loves his job because of the fulfilment he helps the clients achieve, for example gaining friends they can call family and building their confidence.

At first, when reading through this play, I viewed it as just a mundane tragedy with other elements swirling about. It was only after scanning through it more in depths, combing through Sybil’s lines and rehearsing them over and over, that I began to see the writing in a new light. Truly, after really digging deep into my soul and opening myself up to her perspective, I found that this play, her character, went beyond what is inked on the page.

Injury to the seven cervical (neck) vertebrae, including their associated discs, nerves, muscles and lymph nodes, can cause neck pain that only worsens without appropriate treatment.

Scoliosis is the abnormal curve of spine that looks like a C or S shape that pushes out laterally and creates visible or non-visible defect to the affected person. This is not a disease, nor is it contagious and this is not developed by certain actions or lack of care.
