I did a lot of self advocacy this week. I wrote a script and practiced my phone skills. I called Direct and spoke to Christian. I set up my own appointment and met with Christian. I'm going there March 22.
I would like to work in an exotic pet store because I like reptiles and bugs as pets. I've had experiences with millipedes,anoles,Schneider skinks,ball pythons,leopard geckos,and one turtle,also I currently have a blue tongue skink. This volunteer place would be good because of my experiences and i'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. This volunteer experience would hopefully teach me how to care for a multitude of reptiles which I could use to care for my reptile at home.
I went to Lowes yesterday and met with a contact I was given at a job fair . She told me to call her next week to set a meeting so we could .talk .To discuss possible job opportunities
After Workability I plan on taking the class again while I wait for V.R. also
I am going to try to volunteer at Tropical Kingdom. I am still with my hab worker from Absolute because UCP does not have an opening which is going to make it hard to volunteer.I want to volunteer at Tropical Kingdom because I have a blue tongue skink and have had experiences with reptiles and bugs and I like them. Yvette is helping me to find a job to know where I can work. I'll be taking another class with Yvette. If I could work at a store, or school, or a post office. So I can get paychecks to go to Africa & buy DVDS.
I picked up one more shift at MHC. I'm also hoping to get an internship. I'm deciding about V.R. services between Beacon or Workability. I'm also going to Direct & taking classes such as culinary & nutrition. Also budgeting & bus training. |
