There are events that occur in your life that highlight the journey you have travelled so far and demonstrate with clarity what you have accomplished. When I was a child I suffered from debilitating anxiety and panic attacks, they were so severe that I was unable to attend school and my life was greatly impacted. This past week I was asked to give a Pro D day talk to the staff at the High school where I work about Anxiety and how teachers and others can work with youth to support them to come to school. I was nervous to say the least. Teachers, are a tough crowd. (They would know if I have bad grammar in my Power Point). I over came my anxiety and gave the educational talk, teaching the group of people who once terrified me as a child to support those who are now suffering. What an ironic moment that did not hit me until later. When I got home and I thought, wow, If my Mom could see me now, she never saw me successfully finish any year of school. Now I work in one and educate people how to work with others. Life is full of hardships, struggles and strange twists, we dont always know where it is going, the point is to learn the lessons we have presented to us and keep moving forward. It is amazing what a person can conquer with support and determination.
