Blog Post 3 24-33 tales of self-direction and further into professional acumen and living it up

Well to be honest 24-33 was a big time in blossoming my professional connections shortly before I was 24 I started work at Albertsons' a job that I still have and then a few years later I started Self-Advocacy Leadership Network which first blossomed into the Council and Community Now and has continued to blossom into other arenas later also I went into self-directed services when I was 29 which brought my independence from 25% to 96%ish (I am borderline on services due to my latest diagnosis but can do a lot on my own) I have gone up and down in weight but have kept a pretty steady exercise acumen finding fun runs, yoga, dance, pilates, and a host of other classes first at the Boise State REC Center and then at Bikram Yoga, the Y, Sage Yoga, Fort Boise, and some impromptu yoga in the park. I met some of my best friends who I have to this day and I also moved from Linda Vista on the edge of Boise to the edge of Garden City which is also near Boise to by the Boise Mall to downtown Boise which is where I am moving soon I built strong rapport with most of my support and also leaned on my professional support for others to help me further my acumen professionally I discovered that I have friends who live it up at that point and I was influenced by them there were a few regrettable nights but mostly I was safe overall I have learned a lot of lessons with that gone on a lot of vacations including international travel and Nevada where I rode the bull and rafting which I did with bad toes that fell off and with staples in my head and numerous other less regrettable times including my birthday where someone almost got pushed off I also shook Obama's hand and got to shake some other people's hands that were famous and volunteered all over the place and continued to start on my hard road of making Boise a place for activism I started with disability activism and LGBT activism but have also have done environmental activism at this point and did other activism later and this is the point where I started testifying in the capitol I also brought my Boise State grades up in that interim with a quick flurry at the end I feel like it was an excellent further influence into professionalism and with everything else in the past couple of years I will write the blog on that in a couple of weeks shortly before 36!
