Shriners

Last week I went on a GIVE trip to Shriners hospital for kids in wheelchairs. I had gone on this trip before, and I really liked bonding with the kids. One of the girls I talked to last year was around my age and told me about all the harships the people in the wheelchairs were facing. I knew I could never fully understand what they were dealing with, but I did my best to try to just have fun with them. But, on this specific trip, not many kids were available to play with. We mostly just played wheel chair basketball and I also played a card game with a kid who looked like he was about 7. When I was wheeling around with my friends and playing basketball, I couldn't believe how hard it was to win. I never thought wheelchair basketball would be that hard, but everyone was sweating when we finished. Overall, I think it was a really good experience and I definitely want to go back.
