My Favorite Day of the Week

Every Thursday I get to volunteer at a local Autism Center. After visiting all the classrooms I found one where I fit in well and have been helping out ever since. In this classroom there are five children from ages five to eleven; they’re all very sweet and unique. One of the kids loves English, especially spelling out titles of American movies and TV shows. Sometimes the two of us can go back and forth writing out movie titles for an hour or two. It’s fun! He knows more modern American movies than I do. Sometimes he’ll add to things I write. One time I wrote out “Tom and Jerry”. He looked at it for a little bit and then added on the words “the movie.”
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to get to know these kids and to learn more about people with autism in this culture.
