My independent living along with my friends have been invited to participate in the entertainment parade this weekend and I obviously could not be more than excited for it. I am definitely hoping to walk past so many familiar faces along the parade route and make everyone smile prior to the annual event that will be happening shortly after.
My friends and I are joining up with the adult group at our independent living center to decorate the trailer we are going to be walking behind---which if you ask me is going to be a new experience for me!!! I know it will be a long ways to go and I am positively certain once things are done, it will have been worth every minute.
I have been specifically asked to walk alongside one of the youth coordinators and help everybody else have a good experience while on the parade route, which I am certain is going to feel a lot longer than I think most of us will expect. I really hope this will end up being an opportunity that our IL center gets to have in the distant future if we get ourselves lucky!!! :)
Flash Forward (Tomorrow)
We are going to combine with the adult group at our IL center and decorate our float to how we want it--- which if you ask me is a completely different story!!! I am excited to see what plans we have in mind for something that I genuinely hope no one in the community will remember for years down the road!! I am pretty stoked to be a part of something that I was not particularly sure was going to happen and due to the fact we are not consumers anymore--I was a little hesitant about whether this was something we could be involved in and yet here we are!!!
