Utah Developmental Disabilities Council (First Virtual Meeting)
I've genuinely never wanted to keep away from this in any blog post and quite frankly with the new opportunities that I'll have in front of me...It will only give me more chances to share my ambitious and bubbly personality with others. I am grateful for this amazing experience of a lifetime and can't wait to learn as many things as I can possible about the disability world. It is definitely going to be a new adventure for me to take on as I try to give my input on things and what should be happening in the next several months ahead...which I know is either gonna strengthen me or wear me down. I am confident things will turn out a lot more fun than I would have least expected them to, but I know it's just a matter of giving it my best shot before anything becomes official.
Youth Leadership Committee (Elections)
TOMORROW MORNING---I have another virtual call with this committee to elect a new chair and there are countless thoughts running inside of my head. I am not even sure if someone like me could emotionally handle the load that would be on their shoulders or if I am even the kind of advocate or candidate that my group would like to be take over things?! All of this new stuff has been surreal in more ways than one and quite swamped with knowing how I could take on another task--which if I must admit could either lead me into a direction I need to be in or who knows?? Maybe I have a lot more that I need to keep learning from such incredible people who go above and beyond in making dreams turn themselves into a reality.
Post Virtual NINJA Con 2020 (Mentor Spotlight)
One of the most heartfelt moments for me was getting to speak for a minute about what leadership means to me on a personal level. It was legitimately not something I had practiced being emotional over by any means whatsoever--but somehow prior to me talking about the subject: (I'd mentioned that I am the crier of the group just so everybody would know that & then preceded to read off my paper what leadership meant to me.) It was such an emotional moment for me to share what was in my heart with everybody who participated on the conference with us--but also realizing I may not ever know when my next chance would be to mentor a NINJA Conference again!!! Only time will tell with that legitimate part of my life and how things are going to lie down with it--but I'm more than willing to lend a helping hand in anyway that I can possible.
