Well, tomorrow is the day of my presentation. I am not nervous, I am rather excited to share with the class the information I have learned about M.E.E.E.L.J.
I know the staff has some "issue's" they need to work on... but that is life anywhere you go I guess(?). I have been in contact with Latreese and we have discussed me joining her staff or possibly being a guest speaker on occasion to speak with men who are domestic violence abusers- about the trauma they inflict upon the women they are in a relationship with. I had never approached my life experience from THAT angle. Because she does not have experience on issues of domestic violence, she said she feels I would be an asset to the agency. Hmmmm...ME an ASSET. The fact that she feels that way is a blessing to me and all of the hardship I went through prior to this, was worth it if I can help others. I also have an e-mail out to Marisa Churchin. I look forward to hearing from her and seeing how I might be of service in an agency she knows of.
My presentation was not hard to put together at all. I learned more, as I did it and I think I may "present" it to Latreese and see if she might want to use it in the future. It is amazing to see how I might actually be able to affect the world in a positive way by helping even in a small agency. Every life is valuable and I feel like if I look at the short term goals instead of always seeing the big picture, I can really make a difference one person at a time.
