School is coming back.
This is a time to do important last minute stuff with your friends and family. Then also gathering school supplies together. Be sure you know the location of where your school is and that you register early so you can get in more likely. Also this is the time in your life to explore what you want in life, such as where you want to go to school, or what down the road you want to aim for yourself.
I went to a program called P.A.C.E. at 20
yrs old. P.A.C.E. is a school to train independent living skills, to people
with special needs. Until I went to P.A.C.E., I always talked in an
articulate way, but never knew why. I am often able
to express my feelings and understand why others feel the way they do. P.A.C.E. showed me I am like that because I was trying to ask or say “How
can I express myself?”
P.A.C.E. taught me that before I do anything, I focus
too much on the possible consequences of things.
I become too scared to express my ideas because I am afraid of how
people might react. Which causes me to over-think and miss out on doing
activities. Also I do not understand when I can express myself. For
example I do not understand when is a good time
to ask someone if they want to get together with me.
But nobody ever said life was easy!
Until next time,
Alyssa :-)
