Lesson 14: What I learned

 Introduction: Hi Folks! Since this week doesn't have any personal training, it will be a lot shorter. I am going to add resources from classmates from last week and my experience doing the volunteer Practicum. I am also going to add one last resource that I found enlightening. I am so happy that I was able to be a part of this class and make this Toolbox to help myself and others to make people life better. There are resources in my blog (not this post necessary) about learning about mental illnesses and how we can help, how we can include those with disability, the First person Language, the important of art and sports, etc. I hope you can used this for good and make a differences. I know for me I am going to be using this a lot as I work with others with mental illnesses and disabilities. With those tools, I will be able to inspire professors, mothers, fathers, and daughters who know someone who a mental illness or disability or who has one.

Classmate resources from Lesson 13: 

• Kelci Johnson post a website called National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification which is super helpful if you need to know to where to get your license.   https://nctrc.org/
• Emma  Tennyson's added a helpful website that help shared what type of jobs that are available. https://www.atra-online.com/
• The last one is by David Lybbert that is called, "Outdoors without Limits" He involved people with any type of disabilities.https://youtu.be/kcmjdF4LMMI

This week: 

• In this class in the beginning, we were suppose to write our Mission statement. The first Mission Statement I wrote was this, "My mission is to make people’s lives better, giving hope to those who think there is no hope. To make dark days seems full of light and hope for those with disabilities, mental illnesses, and poverty. To help others overcome obstacles, make dreams happens, and feel of Heavenly Father’s love and truth.” Much of this still hold true, but after learning what I have this semester, I will have to change some of this. My new one is this " My Mission is to make people’s live better by thinking outside the box of making activities and programs accessible. I will do my best to educated programs that already exist in small ways they could make their problem accessible. Every dream anyone have is possible to make come true, and I will do anything I can to help others overcome those obstacles so they can truly live."
•  We were supposed to write about our experience with our volunteer Practicum. Here is the link so you can view my experience. (It is not letting me post it at this time, but I will try later)
