LATER THIS WEEK---I will be co presenting with one of my colleagues about a topic that neither one of us has ever presented on before. We are going to be presenting on the subject in regards to social security and work incentives for people in the disability community. I am hopeful things will run smoothly for us and we can make an effort to spread awareness of how important this is when it comes to living an independent life. I am grateful to have a few extra days to practice reading the script along with the slides I have to go with them. It's definitely paid off with being able to keep track of where I need to be and not over work myself too much.
It's always a delightful experience for me to present on topics that affect the disability community and being able to educate others about the potential we have to follow our dreams. I am grateful to have just recently hit the six year mark with being on the speakers network last month and doing whatever it takes to make sure my voice is being heard.
Self Advocacy Conference (Two And A Half Weeks)
Nothing much about this as of yet---I can only hope to have an unforgettable time and learn some new things in regards to self advocacy efforts. I definitely look forward to making memories with my friends and doing all I can in my power to be an even better self advocate in the disability community. I can only hope to have an experience that leaves an imprint on my heart and continue growing more as a person in this community of people with disabilities.
(To Be Continued)
