Fashion Show

This year was the first time I have participated in Blue Gold's famous Fashion Show and it was a blast.  I regret not trying out in previous years, it was without a doubt the most fun I have had at a school event.  I became close friends with everyone in my group as we worked as a team to come up with an excellently choreographed routine.  I also was able to meet all the buddies and it was great talking and interacted with them.  My dad was extremely involved with peoples with intellectual and physical disabilities, since he dedicated his life to Easter Seals.  Growing up I used to visit the facilities and I knew never to use the "R" word but I never got as involved as I wanted to. After  I went to Easter Seal's big volleyball tournament, which is one of their biggest fundraisers and modeling in Blue Gold I've discovered that I really like what these organizations are doing and I might have found a possible career path.  Over the last couple of weeks I have met many of the people with intellectual disabilities that go to Easter Seals and they told me stories about my dad and how he changed their life and it really made a giant impact on me.  I am strongly considering pursuing a similar career that my dad loved.
