Solo Presentation

Granite School District - Fall Institute 2024 

I have never presented at this event before and look forward to meeting with the individuals who dedicate so much of their time, energy and hearts into teaching students in the disability community. I will be doing a mini presentation about celebrating self and continue spreading hope about how important it is to respect those with disabilities in our society. Lucky for me, I have a couple of weeks to practice through all of my materials and get prepared for an experience that I hope to look back on with a smile!!! I genuinely hope everything goes over well for me and there are no technical difficulties like what happened at the provider conference I was involved with last month. It is definitely going to be a treat for me to do this on my own without any extra assistance from my colleagues, which I am certain will be slightly nerve-wracking but I am up for it. #MySoCalledLife.

Random Story (SNAP June 13th)

One of our newest youth leaders for SNAP whose name I will not mention here, brought their yearbook to with them and I could not help but ask if I could sign it. I obviously went for it and wrote a very genuinely kind message to them, which I know is not going anywhere but you get the idea?? I also ended up giving this person a sweet little shout out on my IG stories and pretty certain they didn't see it---but I will for sure inform them about it tomorrow if we see each other!!! I had never signed a yearbook from the school on the other side of the tracks before, but I didn't want to pass up the chance to let my new acquaintance know that I am there to support them in anyway I can. I am grateful to always bring a smile to their face as we get to know each other when they come to SNAP on Thursday nights---which sometimes is a hit or miss for them and hopefully that can get fixed soon!!! Did I forget to mention I finally got to see my legit all time former division one basketball athlete's picture with the lady T-Bird Basketball team inside and just immediately squealed with excitement??? #LikeNoKidding #BestNightEver #LikeEver.
