Today I had to get up very early to make sure everything was done before I started my virtual training session for the peer mentor program at The Christopher Reeves Foundation. I cleaned all four of the cages, done a basic sweep, ate breakfast and even done my computer before it was time to join the training session.
It started at 10:45 am and was supposed to be until 3:30 pm but we only had like five other people show up so we got done about 2:30 pm. Out of everyone I had the highest spinal cord injury at C3. It was a very interesting time listening to the other participants talk about their spinal cord injury. There were even some family members there instead of the spinal cord injury survivor. I was also the youngest trainee but not the youngest spinal cord injury. There was a mom there to become a mentor and her daughter was 6 but she had her spinal cord injury at five months old from a illness.
I enjoyed the time I had with everyone else that knew kinda what I was going through. Most everyone there had already gotten married and had big time jobs or even some had been mentors already. I wish I could say the same but I will get there eventually!
