Conference

I was a panelist for the re-inspire 2026 conference. I wrote a story about my hiking journey. I was too nervous to even start writing my story. I was very excited when we put the story with the pictures in a video. It turned out looking great. I was so proud. I decided to go on the stage although mom didn’t think I would be able to do it. Then on the day of the conference, I went on the stage and I saw Elizabeth Bonker sitting at the first row and looking at me and my video. I think she likes my story. I was so proud. I got emotional and left the room. My heart was so full! It was like my dream came true: me on the stage and Elizabeth watching me doing it. I still can’t believe I actually did it for real. I am incredibly proud of myself. I am invincible, I am incredible, I am beautiful, I am a champion. I am a champion!

Today I went to see Lenae. I was very excited. I was nervous. I worried that she might be disappointed. I didn’t know if I had made enough progress. I was really worried that she could be disappointed about my progress. I was so relieved at the end that I was able to show her what I could do. I am so happy. I was able to spell on the iPad. I was able to type and speak. I was able to write and speak. I was able to hold the letterboard and spell. I am so proud of myself.  I love you mom. I am grateful for having you there to always push me and believe in me. I really appreciate it. I am so ecstatic.

Van Gogh exhibition

I was very nervous today in the Van Gogh exhibition. It was very crowded. I don’t like it when there are too many people. It is too much for me to be there. I wish I could stay and enjoy the paintings. I wish I could control myself better. It is just too much. I am upset that I couldn’t myself to enjoy the art. I am sorry that you had to leave early. I know that you wanted to stay longer. I thank you for being patient with me. I love you.
