URLEND Update (Mini Version)
I ended up not getting accepted into the program and for legitimate reasons that I have so much going on as it is in my personal life. I did end up getting my name on the waiting list and unless a spot opens or if federal funding becomes available they will reach out to me. However, I am not particularly certain that my chances of getting accepted will be too great---but I am hopeful new opportunities come in my path during the course of time. I am grateful to have put my name in the ring and can only imagine what else lies down the road as I move forward.
Keynote Presentation (Building Together Conference)
I am so excited for this opportunity to speak about celebrating self determination and inspiring others in the disability community to know there is hope. I have only done this kind of stuff one or two other times which if you ask me was nerve-wracking, but also one of the most rewarding experiences that anyone can ever have. I am excited for a chance to educate more individuals about this topic and hopefully we have a very legitimate turn out of people who come to join us. I also cannot wait to get my groove on as soon as the conference dance party begins and dance my little heart out :) I know it seems very far away until all of this happens, but I am not gonna neglect having a good time with friends whenever I have a chance to get out some energy.
As you may have noticed, I have not necessarily written up much on here for a while and can only hope for more adventures to come once this summer begins!!! I am confident there will be more fun things that I can share with you all and make an effort to be consistent in my writing abilities. I still cannot believe this school year comes to a close at the end of next week and hopefully can return back next year to meet some new students!!! #StayTunedForMoreLater.
