When watching this video I found myself seeing people with disabilities in a different light than I have before. I have never thought a person with a disability could not do what a person with no disability could do but this video really made me see just how independent and creative they are as individuals and that they truly face no limitations and can do whatever they wish to do. This video proves even a person in social care like myself can still learn new things about the people we may work with and the abilities they have. The video is very informative and shows how inclusive KCAT Equinox is for people with disabilities. It gives the service users so much freedom to do what they want with their shows. They are supported and helped to develop their own shows that can help the service users show their experiences and help inform others about KCAT and about their disabilities. They also show other peoples experiences like seen in the video they did a show based on refugees. Equinox helps show the service users how to advocate for themselves and others by interpreting world problems such as the refugee crisis and turning it into a piece of art such as their shows. This way of learning is easier and it shows the service users how to relate and empathise with people. Equinox not only helps guide the service users to use their creativity and express themselves but they also teach them how to build confidence. Equinox helps the service users to build relationships and how to work together as groups and individuals. It is great they have services dedicated to the arts for those with disabilities. It gives the service users an outlet for their imagination and creativity and turns it into something empowering. Equinox is helping break the stigma that people with disabilities are limited in what they can do and achieve. Equinox can help people to see people with disabilities in a different way and be more inclusive to the community. To me the arts have many amazing aspects but for me music is the focus and what comes to mind when I hear arts. That is what my creative piece shown above is about. I feel music can be expressive and shows how someone is feeling depending on the genre of music. Music is also interpretive. It allows people to feel certain emotions when they hear a different type of genre of music or song and not everyone will feel the same when listening to the same music. For my reflective piece I played a playlist of different songs of different genres and then expressed the emotions the song brought up for me. I feel personally when I am down or sad I play sad music or vice versa when I am happy I play happy music. This has shown me how to deal with my emotions. Instead of playing sad songs when I Am sad I will play happy music to help improve how I am feeling. Listening to music can really help with your mental health and overall mood.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this activity. It was creative,fun and it was easy to do and left me feeling a bit emotional. I never thought about how others see me in the course. It was only when I found out how they view me was when it mattered to me. It really showed me how thoughtful people can be and It is reassuring knowing how you can have a positive impact on people and not even know. Even though we were asked to say positive things about each other it did not feel forced in what I was writing I also made a point in trying write a different thing for everybody so it meant more and was more personal. Trying to write something different for everybody was not as easy as I thought it became difficult when I was writing for a person I did not know well but I thought back to all the class we had in creative skills which were interactive and I realised I knew a lot more about the people in my course than I thought I did. I feel this activity could really help service users no matter the age, disability or issues they have. Everyone deserves to hear the nice things said about them and it could really help with self-esteem, confidence and overall just make you happy and feel appreciated. This activity is truly made for everyone and would be good in school to help kids or teenagers with their confidence and help to build relationships and start new ones. If I would change anything about it I would  maybe make it more interactive if I ever done this activity in practice. I feel it would be good to know who has said these nice things about you and it could help build relationships and make existing relationships stronger.

I found this both hard and easy to complete. I feel it was easy for me to think about the future and what I want as it is always easy to know what you want but it is not easy to know what you need. The present was just filled with work, college and my hobbies It's what I focus on the most right now in order to get what I want in the future. The past is what I found challenging to express. For me the past is not something I think about often so it was difficult to know what I should put down to represent me back then. I eventually started with the basics like school and then thought about the defining moments in my life back then. For me those moments were very personal and were both hard and easy moments. For example I drew a hospital as when I was younger I needed to get two spinal surgeries. It was a very big moment in my life when it happened but as I grew up it was just any other moment in my life and was not a big moment anymore but it influenced a lot in my life. For example it influenced my physical wellbeing as I was now limited in what sport I could do but this led to another big moment that is when I started basketball which is shown in my picture. It is only when we think about the big moments in our lives is when we realise how they have helped us today in defining who we are and what represents us. This activity I feel would work well with many different service users but particularly with kids in residential care. Many children in care come from a difficult background and it can leave major trauma for them and problems with, mental. I feel this activity would show them what they went through and are currently going through can help lead to the future they want. It can show that their lives are not all negative or difficult and even the moments that are can help them to become better and can help get them to where they are now and hopefully an even better place in the future.

I found this activity a bit frustrating as I found everything I drew or wrote for side 1 was to hide something on side 2. Side 1 represented what everyone saw but it made me realise it was what I chose for them to see and side 2 was what I kept hidden and did not show anyone else. For example I wrote "smiley" on side 1 which people have said I am. I smile a lot because I am happy or just in a good mood but I also smile because  I do not want people to ask If I am okay or is there anything wrong just because I am not smiling does not mean something is wrong with me so I feel it is just easier to smile all the time. I feel this activity showed me just because someone acts a certain way or says something does not mean they are okay and could just be hiding something like I feel sometimes. I think this activity would work well among many service groups of any age but I think specifically it would work well on teenagers. I feel it would work well with teenagers as I think teenagers tend to follow what others do and do not truly express themselves and do not even realise they do not know how they themselves are. Teenagers can be stubborn and not share how they truly feel this activity would help to express themselves without having to talk or share it with anyone. This gives them the opportunity to reflect on themselves and gain a better understanding of who they are.
