When I joined Jubilee, right away I thought that I want to make friends here. I jumped in with two feet getting involved with the Client Council. I want to help people speak up for themselves just like I do. I’m really involved with advocacy. I go to Annapolis often to talk about how having a disability affects my life and to ask lawmakers to support the disability community.

I’m always on the go! I work hard at the library on the cleaning crew, and I have a great boss. Of course, I also advocate at the library for everyone on my team.

I call myself a Daddy’s girl, but it feels good to stand on my own too. I wanted a job, and to make my own way in life. With Jubilee’s help, I’m living on my own. I get along really well with my housemates Susan and Mary. We went to see the Christmas light display at the Mormon Temple together and it was a lot of fun. The people who help me from Jubilee are very supportive. They help me out with daily tasks like taking my medications and healthy meals so that I can be independent. I’m proud of myself.
