This disability conference takes place in three weeks and can't even believe how quickly time has flown by. I am grateful for the opportunity of learning more about the heartfelt topic of self advocacy on various levels in the disability community-- which if you ask me is something I am very passionate about. It is an absolute wonderful experience to wait and see how this conference turns out-- I really hope everyone who is participating on the conference itself will learn so much about how to better advocate for themselves in the community. I am thrilled to be doing a mini activity session with a friend of mine about the purposes with volunteering and giving of your time to make a difference (as well as being a part of something that can be so much bigger than yourself.)
There will be at least from what I've heard is a solid number of people who will be on with us and since I am going to be out of town for the event itself-- I am still going to make an effort and listen in on how all of the things we planned will unfold. I am excited to learn from the many speakers we have reached out to in sharing their messages about easier ways to improve on our self advocacy skills and learning some new ways to make an impact in the disability world.
I am grateful for the many people who have supported me through so much and continue making an impact in the lives of young adults with disabilities everyday. I know my life would not be clearly as much as it is without such amazing individuals that are so remarkable at what they do and I am truly blessed to work alongside the best of the best!!! This self advocacy conference itself will most if not definitely be one for the record books and cannot wait to see it all unfold in front of my eyes through my computer screen. Please stay tuned for more updates and stories to come down the road!!! :)
