In 2008, I went to the OSDA conference. I learned a lot. It taught me how to stand up for myself.
I helped develop our own self determination group. In my county, it is called the Self Advocates of Erie County. I’m the president. In 2011, I won the ESDY award for all the hard work I have been doing. I played a part in our rights video that we developed for our county. In 2010, I joined Project STIR. I became an Ohio Leader. I taught 10 trainings already. I taught 5 local classes at Erie County.
