1/30/2018

I think that people need to eat a good healthy breakfast to start their day . A good healthy breakfast
can give us energy to do anything that you need to do. I think eating fruit is a good choice during breakfast because it wakes me up. It can be hard for somebody who has a disability to pick what they're eating for lunch but I can pick what I am having for lunch. The reason that it might be not easy for ouother people with disabilities is because they might not to be able talk to talk. I I think having a sandwich for lunch is a good choice. The food that you eat can help your brain

Robin- Self Care

1/30/2018

How to take care of myself: I like to eat fruit and vegetables and juice. Soda is not really good for you. Then I drink water all the time. I take showers and baths. Listening to music and watching all kinds of DVD's helps me relax. And talking to my cat helps me relax too.

Life is filled with circumstances and situations that can be dark and very discouraging. However, if we can harness the ability to laugh at ourselves, we can not only cope but also encourage others. In the workplace, a good sense of humor is paramount to the morale of the team. Don't laugh at your boss though, you could get fired. Guffaw in the face of danger and crack up when things don't go your way.

Pick your battles-Levi

1/25/2018

There are a lot of stressful situations in life. For example, dealing with severe anxiety and possibly very disturbing thoughts on the job or in class. It is really important that others understand that there is an entirely different world apart from the job and that problems from that world can easily cross over and effect relationships and the general environment of the working world. The most important thing for me is to be real but also have fortitude and not let my disability win in terms of breaking me away from the community which I need to survive. I am always willing to let the small things slide so that everyone can not only survive but also thrive.

Levi- finding purpose in the program

1/18/2018

I really enjoy feeling like I am an equal to people in the working field. Looking for work is hard when you have a lack of self-esteem. But I have been realizing that I can do anything that I put my mind to. I love that the managers at the stores are very understanding and adaptable, because I have always thought they make people feel like they are inferior. I visited Color Me Mine, TJ Maxx, Bath and Bodyworks and Nordstrom Rack. The atmosphere was very relaxed and vibrant at the same time.
