What I like most about supporting people:

Spending time with them invokes a new way of thinking, which encourages thought beyond the common perspective, searching deeper beyond what is visible to the eye. I believe that each individual has something to teach or a message to share. I love searching for what gifts lie in each person. I love to look at disability in a validating way, recognising that life may be even more challenging than the common experience due to various barriers, making everything they do, even more special and praiseworthy. I love having a sense of purpose in helping others achieve their goals and seeing them for who they are. Being a partner in someone's growth, in either their confidence building, or seeing them reach a milestone they once thought was out of reach, is really rewarding, as well as just being a 'safe space' for them where they can feel encouraged and proud of themselves.
