<p>This is my paragraph for “elaborate on one of your extracurriculars” section of the Common App. I was hoping I could get some feedback! Thanks!</p>
<p>At the disability center, I was assigned to an autistic boy. His eyes brimming with tears, he screamed. I couldnt decipher the words that left his quivering lips but I knew he blamed me for separating him from his mother. His fragile hand in mine, I pulled out glittery stickers which lit his eyes with curiosity. Eventually, I cajoled him to join the class whether it was Arts & Crafts, Dance or Mannerisms. Soon, he looked forward to seeing me as much as he looked forward to seeing his mother afterwards. That year was devoted to Bobo; the following year to Raymond, an adult who continuously talked about politics and current events. Today, I am a Team Leader who keeps 8 students and 5 volunteers under my wing. Befriend her, I say because although they may be illiterate, unresponsive, or self abusive, they arent impervious to feelings. After all, they are one of us. Under the shield from societys judgmental eyes, we forget that we are in any way different: in age, race or mentality.</p>
