It's almost surreal of me to think about the upcoming opportunities that lie in my path and not even sure what could happen next down the road. I have little to no idea about what I am getting myself into... but I am thrilled about the opportunity of a lifetime to work alongside with such phenomenal, hard-working, genuine, self less people ever!!! There is only so much for me to learn along this new journey to get out of my comfort zone and give those with disabilities a voice, that needs to be heard more often than anyone else thinks it should not. I am grateful for this lifetime opportunity of being able to stretch myself in ways that I didn't ever think were possible and doing it with my closest and dearest friends, is nothing short of a dream come true!!!
Spotlight Moment: (Earlier Today)
It was such an unforgettable moment for me to not only be recognized in a short period---but hearing the qualities about myself in front of people who have touched my life for the better, is just absolutely indescribable!!! I truly love being a part of such an amazing non profit organization whose given me a platform to expand my horizons on about self advocacy along with other things in between. I know it is such a new experience for me to do stuff like this, but if this my lifetime opportunity to take this chance on--I would much rather not miss out on it. I legitimately almost had tears in my eyes while sitting there trying to keep myself together and knowing how incredibly far I've come from where I was before.
Fun Moments Ahead:
Not sure what these will look like yet--but I am hopeful there will be a lot of laughs and smiles to share with my new peeps in the next little awhile. I will most definitely keep myself as professional as I can possible without trying too hard to draw attention to others... If you know what I mean?! It's most certainly gonna be a very legitimate fun time with such extraordinary people and getting lots of chances to know them better is truly going to be an experience I will not soon forget. I certainly loved being able to bring smiles to the faces of my friends who participate on the call this morning and just simply enjoyed getting to learn how running a council works. One of my favorite moments from this morning was when I noticed a friend playing with their hair and putting it on their face--as if it was a mustache, but somehow I wanted to give it a mini shout out and said: (I am not even sure what it is I said exactly after telling this person how great their temporary mustache looked & then saying that it looked so cute!!! Talk about a true statement right there and then the next thing I knew my friend was laughing pretty hard for a second which if you ask me is a success!!!
