Helping others

Sociology is a matter of how people react and act in a groups. When my brother had started to work at WDSRA (Western Dupage Special Recreational Association) i wanted to know what it was about and always wonder what he did. He would come home from work everyday, which consisted of work with mentally challenged kids and adapted kids and working with them in either sports or different fun activities to work with the kids, teens and adults. So after hearing what my brother did i wanted to tag along and see it in action.
After Going to some of the adapted programs and helping out i had really got a kick out of it and enjoyed helping out. But the activity that i enjoyed the most and that my brother loved coaching was wheelchair basketball. So when going to practice with him i had got a chance to talk to the team and interact with them in practice and see what Wheelchair basketball is all about. I had work with them on different techniques and actually rode around and played in a wheelchair with the kids on the team and observing and playing with the them in a big group and seeing how they get along and and work together in groups/as a team being disabled either being if they were a paraplegic or had a spinal cord injury. But over all i loved working with the kids and the basketball team when my brother was working at WDSRA and not that he is coaching the men's basketball team at the University of Whitewater its a different experience helping out there. But over all working with them as a team and seeing how they react and work together in groups is absolutely amazing.
