Default I'm doing something really important to me!!!!

I was given a chance earlier this month to do something really
important. I thought about it, once again thinking am I really
the person to do this. I remember the last time I really wondered
if I was the person for something.

It was almost 19 years ago, it will be in August of this year. When
my job first came out for IN*SOURCE when I first wondered if there
was anyway they would consider me. I remember the call on the
phone with one of my co-workers and her telling me that I wouldn't
know unless I applied but she thought I should apply. So I did.
I remember getting the call in September to do the application. I
also remember getting hurt in September the day after the planes
hit the tower. I then remember having the surgery on the 24th, and
being in the hospital for a week. The ride home, and my husband informing
me on a friday afternoon, after 4pm. That IN*SOURCE had been calling all
week, and that they needed an answer as to whether I was still interested in
the job. And he didn't think it was something I should worry about till I was home. I went the whole weekend, worried they gave it too someone else. When I called my boss, he said, he had decided to give me till that day. Not knowing why but that things happen, so he gave me the benifit of the doubt.
Anyway, you know the rest.

I was given the Chance to call an Lady to work on what is called setting up
an Town Hall for employment of the disabled. The governors planning council along with Indiana disability group with Indiana university is doing 10 of them in Indiana. Its a really big thing. But the thing was that I was given this paperwork and opportunity after someone that is an parent decided she wasn't able to do it. And someone that is an kind of thorn in my side decided it wasn't her cup of tea, she calls herself a champion of the disabled. But really isn't. So I thought about it. Emailed the person who was looking, she asked me to get a group together, not exactly explaining what I was looking for at first, but I figured out. After talking a couple times. Got a group and then regot a group of ideas. So now we have set a date, got an location,
and are now working on finding the what she calls (Champions of the Self-Advocates) which technically I'm not. But I am, because I'm not in the employment field. But I do advocate for the people that need things in the field but I just sent her two names I think will be great and to her I want to stay involved. I can do lots of running and helping at the scene. This is why I love my job.
