New Year's Eve

Today is the last day of 2006. At this time of the year I always find myself thinking about the past year. This year I am very happy with what I have achieved and about all the seeds I have planted. First off I would like to thank all my family and friends that have stuck by and supported me through out this past year. Without all your help and support I would not be where I am today.
In 2006 I have made a lot of steps towards achieving my goals and to becoming the man I know I can be. I have gone back to school. I started the Educational Assistant Diploma Program in January. Two out of the three semesters have been very successful. It is scary and I struggle a lot, but I am determined to finish it. I need to set a positive example for my God Daughter and the students I work with. This year I have successfully completed the Geneva Centre for Autism’s Intervener program. I have spoken at two special education conferences, and I am looking forward to doing more speaking. I also joined a football team. It was a very ruff start to the season trying to find things that fit, but I am looking forward to playing again this year. I have continued to work with the Council for Exceptional Children and Autism Ontario. I gave the Autism Society there new name. Some people may know that I owned the web site www.autismontario.com. They wanted to change there name and the liked Autism ONTARIO so I gave it to them. With the Council for Exceptional Children I am currently the President Elect. There fore I will be the President of the local chapter next year. I was also nominated for Autism Ontario’s REAACH Awards. That was a great night. I have been working very hard on my web site, and to live my life the way I know I should. I have been working on both my weight/health issues and my money problems. I have taken some huge steps with both. Most importantly I have worked hard to build and keep my relationships with my family and friends. I am very excited to say that I feel closer to my father now then I ever have before, and I am looking forward to the future. Finally I have finished making over my bedroom. This may not seem like a big think, but to me it is. Before I had everything I owned in my bedroom. It was a office, living room and bedroom all in one. And now it is my escape. It is a relaxing place to sleep and unwind from a long hard day. I love it! This is where I would tell you my new year’s resolution, but I don’t have one. I am going to continue to work towards achieving my goals and dreams and becoming the man I know I can be. I wish everyone a Happy and Successful New Year.
