NEXT TUESDAY----I will be heading up to Draper, Utah in helping the Utah Parent Center with this project they are working on and needed two advocates to share their success life stories. I have really tried to keep away from sharing this kind of stuff on my blog, just simply because I don't necessarily like getting too personal in the things I write up about. I am determined to make the best of this new experience and hopefully can inspire other individuals like myself, to know they are never alone in whatever it is they want to pursue their dreams. This presentation should only take a few minutes of my morning to get finished as well as just making a good impression on those who will be there. I'm certainly a little bit nervous whenever I get asked to do something out of my comfort zone, but it will be completely worth every minute!!! I am grateful for the privilege to be a part of this project and not being afraid to share what has helped me to be where I am now.
Volunteering Adventures (Part One)
This school year has only been in session for a couple of weeks, but I am definitely learning so much about patience and trying to stick it out as best as possible. It has given me an opportunity with putting my faith and trust in the Savior, that everything is gonna turn out for the better. Everyday this week, I have continuously prayed multiple times a day to help one of the teachers who has quite a lot to get under their feet.
Even though I am not a professional school teacher, it is the least I can do and making their school year a little bit easier, with all of the many new adventures that they have to take on. I am grateful for the experience to put my faith to the test and make an effort, to remind them that they are doing a fabulous job doing what they can to teach those kiddos what they need to learn.
There are only so many times when I wished I could have done something more to help out, rather than just assume it will get taken care of itself without any meaningful effort put in behind the scenes. I know this is such a small little thing to do for someone else, but I cannot fathom it enough in my head about what it has done to help this teacher friend of mine know they can do hard things. I truly have to believe that even when one school year is hard, that's where you learn and grow the most as a person...but it also reminds you that no matter the many challenges you have in life, it will make you stronger.
