On a lighter note, I successfully completed my 2-day Behavioral Therapy Workshop at the Lee Auditorium in Utelei! The UCEDD (University Center of Excellence Developmental Disabilities) Director contacted me from ASCC and asked if I could spread some behavioral therapy knowledge on staff, teachers, and other educators from different villages all over the island. I have never done a workshop before! The workshop would be 2 days, 4 hours each day, for a total of 8 hours of lecturing!!! Omg. I was sooo nervous at the thought of lecturing for that long. The most I have ever lectured was 2 hours for high school students. I decided to focus all my energy on my power point and delivery. Jameson was so cute and supportive that entire week! He had me practice on him while he took notes. At the end, he gave me constructive criticism and helped me better my presentation. What an amazing man this is! Always there when I need him. My pre-husband is absolutely wonderful. On the actual day of the workshop, I was surprisingly NOT nervous at all. I was more excited than anything. I could talk about behavior therapy all day long! I can't believe I was actually getting paid to talk about what I love to do. Day 1 was a breeze! Everyone loved it! They all stayed afterwards and asked me questions, gave me hugs, took pictures. They even bowed their heads and prayed before we ate lunch and added me in their prayer, saying how blessed they were to have a speaker like me. I felt so honored! Definitely a memorable experience that I'll never forget. :)
Typical Sunday afternoon!
