Show Choir Camps Of America Personal Statement

“Work to view my autism as a different ability rather than a disability. Look past what you may see as limitations and see the gifts autism has given me…Be my advocate, be my friend, and we’ll see just how far we can go” –Ellen Botbohm, author of Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew.

Concentraction camps were camps the nazi party used to imprison jews during world war two. Camps where the punishments are harsh and cruel there werent any sanitary rooms and they were scarcely feed just because they were born or had some sort of realtion to jews.

Throughout my youth, I have had experiences which have been very meaningful to me, however, there is one that stands out from the rest. I have been part of the Madison Youth Choirs (MYC) for seven years now. The choir is an auditioned choir for people ages seven to eighteen. I am in the highest choir, Cantabile, with conductor Mike Ross.

At the autism conference that was held on April 12, 2017, Slippery Rock University provided a few different speakers to talk about different aspects of autism. Ms. Rebecca Klaw was the keynote, and she focused her topic on steps to inclusion through the lifespan. Dr. Jan Singletary focused her topic on sensory issues and inclusion. Dr. Rishi Parikh focused his topic on social anxiety and inclusion. Following these speakers, we had a panel of self-advocates and family members speaking about their personal experiences on autism.

My entire family is an athletic family, everyone did or does sports. However, I never really enjoyed sports to the extent that my family did. I tried to find something I had a passion for, but didn't really find anything until I was in 5th grade. A time that I was open to growth was my entire time in Phoenix Boys Choir.

The lecture “Life on the Spectrum: Living, Learning and Growing as an Autistic Person” presented by Howie Jordan was given on October 27, 2015 at USC Upstate. This speech was about the struggles one with autism faces on a daily basis and the adversity they must overcome. Jordan tells the audience about autism through his eyes and the lessons he has learned through his struggles. Lessons such as how to overcome bullying, physical and mental obstacles, and educational struggles. Jordan’s purpose is to shine light on the idea that a person with autism is just that, a person. No matter what disabilities one may have they are still human and deserve to be treated like one in every part of life.

Curious about the kind of support available to 64 million Americans living with disabilities, I decided to explore this cause and community. I applied and was accepted as an AFK program mentor. Soon, I was working with Michael, a 13-year-old, who was nothing like my preconception of someone with autism. Over the next two years, we met nearly every week, played

“Introducing Davenport West Connection!!!” This is how every show choir performance for west connection members starts no matter what the year. Show choir is one of the most fun activities I have ever taken part in. From back in 8th grade Williams Intermediate Show Choir, to now in Davenport West Connection I have loved every minute of it. The people, hair and makeup, performing onstage, and even the practices were full of fun and laughter. Throughout 8th grade to now there is an enormous difference between high school show choir, and middle school show choir causing one to exceed the other. The practice and rehearsals, fundamentals of the performance, and competitions widely contrast one another yet have surprising comparisons which contribute

This year through National Honor Society I had the opportunity to participate in a study to better the social skills of autistic youth. Once a week I attended a photography class each week we alternate between taking pictures and editing them. The autistic students come an hour before we do and work on how to interact with people. Through the photography class we interacted with the participates and recorded video conversation over the twelve weeks of the class to establish how they are progressing. The students review their videos and get feedback on their conversational skills. Through this experience I have made many friends and have learned that I love to help people. I have thoroughly enjoyed helping these teenagers learn social skills

Autism to many may feel like a great curse, but for me its one of my biggest blessings. I was only 7 when I was diagnosed but I do remember that this diagnosis has done so much for me. As soon as I was diagnosed I knew I wanted to use my story to spread awareness to people who may not understand, and even further I wanted to help those with not just Autism, but any type of special needs even if I was just seven at the time.

I feel very fortunate to be able to work with families and help them to navigate the daily life of Autism providing support, resources and trainings. It’s so gratifying to see the look in a families eyes when they realize they are not alone and know that we will be here for the whole journey.

When it comes to the Autism/Asperger spectrum it is an interesting disorder to learn and understand. As I had the opportunity to work with all range of children that have been diagnosed with Autism/Asperger, it is the students that have been recently diagnosed with Autism/Asperger that is interesting to learn about. I have the pleasure of helping a good friend of mine whom has a 3 year old son who was diagnosed with Autism during the summer of 2015 with understanding what is Autism and ways to support him with his diagnoses. As all parents at the beginning of learning their child has Autism/Asperger they are scared, they want to know what is best for their child when it comes to their development and what services are out there to help themselves and their child with their disability. As I observed my friend’s child, I learned that with the amount of support from family and friends along with his parent’s researching case studies and documentation on Autism, they are better equip of dealing with the disability than letting the disability take control of them.

My commitment on my son's treatment pushed me to give up all my careers. Autism needs endless supplementary therapies to fit into the typical life. If he doesn't get proper treatments in his early ages (generally by 5 years old), he may not know how to speak, to socialize with others, or to be independent. I had no other choice but to giving up all my careers and supporting my son to get improved his serious developmental delay. I woke up early not to go to work but to send him to a special preschool and drive 20 miles not to see customers but to take him to several therapies. My time is just focused on my son for 24 hours and 7 days.

In my freshman year of college I met a young man with autism. I was not discouraged from becoming his friend based on his diagnosis, but instead I felt a strong need to be his friend. I could tell how badly he needed a friend because he seemed isolated by our fellow peers. I decided to turn casual run-ins with him on my college campus into weekly lunches. I offered him guidance with many of the difficulties he experienced and tried to show him a new outlook on various life situations. A year into our friendship he told me that I saved his life. While he believed I saved his life, he was actually the one to give me a sense of purpose to believe I was put on this earth to help and save more lives. Our friendship taught me about the importance of helping members of my community, and how
