On Tuesday we did our last work at the senior home. The senior was happy with us. We are happy to help the senior home. We had fun pulling weeds and picking up trash. I learned how to get rid of ants.

Today we went to see the lemon grass and the lemon grass was almost dead. We got some water for the plant and it looked much happier after it was watered. Then after that we went to the senior’s home to check how we did in the front of the house. We did a pretty good and we are almost done!
On monday we were supposed to have a guest speaker but the guest speaker did not come. We made the most of the day and worked on making an Emergency Contact List, Self-Advocacy, and Disability Rights. At Yellow Brick Coffee we aerated the soil and cleaned the parking lot. We also swept a little bit to clean up dirt and debris. Then we planted and watered the lemongrass plant. It’s a plant that look like grass but taller and smells like lemons. It’s often used in cooking.Final BlogThis is my final week here at Workability as a Peer-Mentor. I’ve learned a lot about budgeting, DB101 and managing paycheck's. I’ve also learned that there are ways for me to achieve my goals with the help of DDD and Workability. This brings great joy to me and I’m forever grateful for the stuff that all of you have done for me. I enjoyed working here and especially going to the job exploration sites. Thank you and good luck on your journeys!

Aaron Being a Peer MentorBeing a Peer Mentor is different because I help my peers and the Teacher. If someone needs help with an activity, I am there to assist. I am learning to be more patient and to not take things personally. It can be hard sometimes but I am getting better because I keep trying and I make sure I talk to the Teacher about how I am feeling. I am trying to make sure that I am a good role model for my peers. That can be a lot of pressure but I am gaining skills on how to cope.
