Warming everyone's hearts with creating doorbell

 On May 18th, our club gathered together with the visibly impaired community in order to create doorbells. We learned that the doorbells bring a sign of luck and a reminder that a valuable visitor/ thing is coming. As I was paired with my partner who was visibly impaired, we got much closer and created this bond as we formed knots. Surprisingly, I was the one who struggled more than my partner, which my partner led me through the steps after her work. Through this activity, not only did we learn to make the knots and a lucky doorbell, but also form this unforgettable bond between us and the blind community.


In sum, this experience was very hearwaeming, giving me a sense of guidance and motivation to commit myself even more in these kind of activities.

An Unforgettable Art Experience

Image
  This past weekend, members of SeeSaw gathered together with visually impaired individuals to experience collaborating and learning art together. We learned the flat knot technique and applied it to create phone bracelets and worry dolls, where we could vent out all of our struggles and feel relieved. Throughout the experience, I both learned the technique and aided the visually impaired in feeling the knots and finding the sensory techniques to tie the knots themselves. I saw that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were delighted the entire time; one of the people even stated that they had stayed up all night for the experience! Ultimately, it was a fun experience where I bonded with numerous individuals and I felt accomplished at succeeding to collaborate with those who need our help.

The power of flat knot

 When we encounter the word 'flat knot', most people would roll their eyes for how boring it would be. However, the experience Seesaw club had the past weekend totally disproves this, showing the power of flat knot; bonding with visually impaired individuals by helping with techniques, putting ourselves in their shoes. In the session, we created worry dolls and phone bracelets that were neatly created with flat knot. It was very heart warming to see the visually impaired individuals trying their best despite the limitations. Some of these individuals, like the lady that I was working with, showed even better perseverance and skills than most of us.  This experience as a whole was another stepping stone for me and our club members to learn more and bond with the visually impaired individuals.

Participating in the 7th WILL-SEESAW CUP

     Participating in the 7th Will Seesaw Showdown Cup was an unforgettable experience, and even though it was my third time playing, the thrill and anticipation felt just as strong as the first. This tournament, where I had to play blindfolded alongside visually impaired athletes, was more than just a test of skill. It helped inspire trust, teamwork, and resilience. Each match challenged me in ways I never expected, forcing me to rely on my other senses and communicate more effectively with my teammates.     Despite having competed before, I still found myself learning something new with every game. The excitement of stepping into the room and the joy of being able to work together with such inspiring players made every moment special. The results never mattered as much as the shared experiences that day.      Looking back, I realize that what keeps bringing me back to this tournament isn't just the competition but the incredible people and the l...
