Well I survived last semester with some pretty good grades! Yes! I am now living in Arizona, doing my senior internship with Arizona Disabled Sports. AZDS is a non-profit organization that partners with the City of Mesa and Mesa Public Schools to provide sports and recreation activities for people with all kinds of disabilities. I just finished my first week, and it was awesome! I have learned so much already! I met a lot of incredible people, and got to see some if the opportunities that are available for people with disabilities. Everyone is so well-connected and willing to help one another in order to provide the best services. One day this week, I got to spend some time at a fancy shmancy fitness center for people with disabilities. A lot of Paralympic athletes train there, which is SO AWESOME! I am VERY excited for all that is ahead of me with this internship. Even after one week, I am better able to see myself pursuing a career in this field. Tomorrow we are having lunch with Arizona United Soccer. Wahoo! It's going to be great!
