The council one of my families

I started on the council in 2014 after a bit of time as a seasoned self advocate it has been a long and winding road the past five years college and other commitments got in the way at the beginning but remedied that and ended up becoming vice chair and going to three national conferences and having a great light to people at the council and I genuinely continue to show kindness and generosity and continued support and other projects continue to come up with all my system change and other items in policymaking and continued council values I continue to be a great light with the overall length of the meetings and listen to the staff who continue to create a positive outlook and the members who continue to show up for a lot of work and dedication to it and getting my fingers dirty and doing the grunt work with all of the projects which have continued to be created in such a way that I can always love what I do and learn how I can listen to what people have to say and be accommodating people from the council have continued to create a positive impact in my life and I even have done things outside of the council with people on staff inspiring others and learning a lot more my self advocate career has blossomed with the council and I am about to embark on starting my own business I expect that to continue with each passing moment thanks to the council I look forward to doing more the next four to six years
