about

Hey all! I'm 15, almost 16 *August 5th* and I go to Utica High School. It's a decent school, but living in Michigan is a downer seeing as we have the most sporadict weather ever. But, I still love it. I wouldn't move if I had the chance. =) Anywho, I love Forensics, It's my biggest hobby I probably have. And no, it isn't CSI or any of that stuff, it's Competitive Speech, but not like debate. I do the drama portion of it. Haha. I also love to sing. It's my dream to grow up and sing for a band for be solo, far fetched, but I can dream dammit! I like anybody who can make me laugh, and hate people who are 'stuck up' and 'serious' all the time. People need to learn to let loose, you know? I'm also a Christian, because God is effin' cool. He's cooler than you, remember that. Also, highschoolers really need to remember : "Save yourself for the one God saved for you." There are so many sluts in my school, it isn't even funny. Rather sad if you ask me. Other than that, I'm a pretty normal teen.

advice

Hey, i'm a freshmen, and i'm looking to join in the best buddies program. i'm just wondering if theres anyone out there who've done this program before, and if its any good, if you have any tips on it because i've never worked with kids with intellectual disabilties before. i'm really excited about it, but i'm also kind of nervous. Any tips?

When I was a freshman, I was in a program very simalar to yours. Mine was called S.T.A.N.D. (Students taking a new direction) Anyways, we worked with children who had mental disabilities, and children who had trouble learning, the best thing you can do is always smile, and be understaning. They're not like you, do you just have to be kind and smile and just be very joyus and happy. They love it when you compliment them "Your shirt is SO cute!!" "Going trick-or-treating?" "Awww! You look so cute today!" You know what I mean? Just be understanding of there situation and make sure, facial expressions are key, if you walk in the room and get a susprised look on your face, they're not going to feel very well about themselves.

Good Look!
