Great Friends

   "When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands." 

- Maria Shriver 

As this year in 2020 comes to an end in a short while, I am so grateful for the many friends who have just always been there to help me through the hard times. It has been really hard for me not being able to spend in person time with them this year because of the health epidemic and look forward to catching up with all of them when I get the chance. I am grateful for their examples to me of what it means to be a good friend and always putting others before yourself in any situation. 

I am so grateful for the many memories and laughs we've shared together... (even in the circumstances that we have all had to adapt to this year.) I have enjoyed getting to see their smiling faces on our many Zoom calls throughout this year and learning from them whenever I can is always a treat. I am grateful for their inspiration to me of how to conquer through the hard times in life and not ever letting those barriers get in the way of what they can accomplish. 

Unconditional Love

All of my friends have shown me this whether I deserved it or not--but I am grateful that they continue to share their positive energy with those around them. I am grateful for the endless times they have given me advice to know how I can do better in life everyday and remembering who I am on the inside. 

USILC Shout Out:

This non profit organization has given me so many endless opportunities to serve and give back to my friends!! I am so grateful for the many times I have been able to lend a hand whenever it is possible & knowing that it can impact the lives of others always warms my heart. I am grateful for the amazingly new friendships that I have gotten to make with so many incredible people who never cease to amaze me with their talents and making others feel extra loved more than they deserve. 

I would also like to send a brief shout out of appreciation to the USILC Staff who do so much for us on a regular basis. They are such phenomenal, self-less, kind, wonderful, genuine, amazing people whose leadership roles never cease to give me a reason to understand that I am grateful they work tirelessly to give us the best experiences we could ever have in this world. I feel so immensely blessed to be a part of such an incredible organization who allows individuals like me with disabilities to see what their true potential in life is to follow their dreams!!! I am so grateful for their dedication, passion into what they do everyday and knowing that it is not unnoticed by any means whatsoever if you ask me.
