It was truly one of the most scariest experiences ever and yet such a wonderful opportunity to share a message with over 134 transition teachers about the importance of Supported Decision Making and trying to help them understand what it can do for someone who has a disability. It was such a great privilege to inspire, motivate and educate these school teachers on what they can do to support any person who needs their expertise in certain areas of their lives. It was probably the biggest crowd of people that I had to present anything to before and for me that definitely turned out to be more than just an incredible opportunity... but learning how to help them understand what resources they'll be able to use in getting somebody like myself to be successful in life. I am not sure how in the world somebody like myself would have ever gotten to where they are now, if it were not for the MANY experiences/lessons/skills that I got to learn at those disability leadership conferences I was able to attend. It gave me the extra boost of confidence that I really needed to help somebody like me get further into what is out there in this world & hoping for the best in my future endeavors.
One Week Away - Night To Shine 2018
Family Together - February 10th, 2018
I am seriously thrilled to be attending the next Night To Shine Prom event sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation next week from now!!! I am anxiously waiting to see what this year will be like and trying to remember my purpose of why I'm here, as well as remembering how amazingly special I am in this world. I am more than just looking forward to being pampered with everything from the dance event itself and limo rides, dinner, crowning of prom kings and queens, cartoon artists, photo booth and everything else in between. More pictures to come and stories to share in the next couple of weeks!!!!
Family Together - February 10th, 2018
I am also stoked to again be celebrating my niece Skye who will be joining our family at the end of next month!!! It's seriously been hard for me to process what becoming an auntie will be like, but I can honestly say from what other people have told me... "You're gonna be an amazing aunt, You're going to be the best aunt ever, You are going to be the cutest aunt for that little girl and everything else in between. I am definitely going to learn to love my niece unconditionally & be the amazing role model that I can be for her throughout the years ahead... but at the same time, I want this cute niece of mine to know that I will do whatever it takes to help her succeed in life & be happy in the tense of her many adventures that she will soon experience.
