I've had such a complete whirlwind of mixed emotions from this past week and little do I have any idea about what I'm getting myself into. It has been a little bit crazy spending time online with various people and trying to communicate to each other, what needs to be taken care of so that nobody feels like they are being left out in the dust. I know there are many amazing people behind me who will continue keeping a smile on my face and making certain that I can set an example for others, long after I leave from both of my council duties are finished.
With my new leadership roles that I'll take on this year, I am slightly concerned about not trying to take any of the feedback from anyone to heart. I know my sensitive side will be easily noticed from people & trying to make certain that I can keep it in tact may be a little difficult. I have certainly felt overwhelmed by all of the adaptions that I will need to make in order to stay professional--but not let any of the littlest reminders open up any wounds. Life has been such an emotional roller coaster for me this year alone and if there is anything I can focus on--is just simply balance out my typical fun side with being a good youth member of the Utah Statewide Independent Living Council.
After being emotionally drained two years ago upon returning back home--- I can only hope with all of my heart that this does not end up revisited again!!! Originally I had looked forward to being there and away from the damage life had been putting me through--but I do think this next time around is gonna turn out a lot better!!!!
