Good morning, Gastonia! I was so captivated by the breathtaking sky over Downtown Gastonia while on my way to school this morning, I just had to share. Moments like these remind us to pause and appreciate the beauty around us. Hope everyone has a wonderful and productive day!
What a beautiful way to start the day! Absolutely stunning sunrise over the Dallas Campus of Gaston College this morning. It's was a big day for me—the first day of pre-nursing school. Ready to take on this new chapter and grateful for the journey ahead.
Picked up some fragrance-free laundry pods for my scrubs. It's a small change, but important for creating a comfortable and sensitive-free environment for patients and colleagues. Looking forward to starting the week with a fresh, clean, and scent-free approach!
📢The Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA) will phase out the use of 14(c) certificates that allow employers to pay people with disabilities less than the minimum wage. Contact your Members of Congress in support of TCIEA! ndss.quorum.us/campaign/13515…
Thrilled to sport my new polo shirt from Gaston Residential Services, Inc.! It’s an honor to be part of an organization celebrating 50 incredible years of advocacy and dedicated service to individuals with disabilities. Here’s to many more years of making a difference!
My CNA journey at @Gaston_College kicks off in just 4 weeks! So excited to be with the Class of 2025 and enter healthcare. Ready to make a difference!!! #FearTheHorn #CNA #Autism #ADHD #OwnYourMomentum #JDHuffmanCPSS #GastonCollege #ClassOf2025
My ID badge arrived this afternoon. It’s an honor to be a North Carolina Certified Peer Support Specialist (NCCPSS), and I’m ready to begin my journey serving the community. #MentalHealth #PeerSupport #Autism #ADHD #PTSD #MentalHealthMatters
🎥 Two powerful Special Olympics documentaries are now streaming on Kanopy - a free platform available in 53 countries through public and university libraries, reaching nearly 160 million viewers. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wTP5p #ChooseToInclude #SportWithPurpose
From the field to impactful partnerships! Special Olympics Chief of Communications Zehra Sayin and Special Olympics Chile athlete Gonzalo Escobar participated in Unified Sports demos at Expo #Osaka2025. They also met with @ToyotaMotorCorp on how to advance #SportWithPurpose!
Every Special Olympics athlete has a loving team, often starting with family. Megan Tang’s journey from @SpOSingapore to the world stage was supported by her mom. Her silver medal in DanceSport represents growth, joy, and family strength. brnw.ch/21wTRl2 @SOAsiaPacific
Fresh finds from Bath & Body Works! Just stocked up on some new (and amazing smelling) hand sanitizers. They're usually $1.99 each (plus tax), but I snagged all three for just $3.21! These are going to be perfect to keep handy for my upcoming CNA classes in the Fall.
Rooftop lunch at Pendo in Downtown Raleigh, NC during a Special Olympics North America Unified Leadership training.
Yesterday, I completed the "Children in Hot Cars" e-learning program by the National Safety Council! This vital course reinforced the importance of preventing hot car tragedies. I'm committed to promoting child safety. Let's protect our kids together!
🚨 Charlotte's Bill is heading to the House floor for a vote THIS WEEK! This is a critical step forward in protecting the rights of people with Down syndrome and other disabilities in the organ transplant process. Ask your reps to vote YES at ndss.org/ndss-action-al…
My NC Certified Peer Support Specialist (NCCPSS) certificate from NC DHHS arrived today. Excited to continue leveraging lived experience in peer support, empowering others on recovery journeys, and advocating for mental well-being. Looking forward to collaborating! #PeerSupport
I am very excited to announce that my paperwork has been processed and I am now a North Carolina Certified Peer Support Specialist. I want to thank everyone who has supported me over the past several months, including my family, friends, colleagues, and my girlfriend Shelly.
Officially registered in CNA classes for Fall 2025 at @Gaston_College! Grateful for this next step in serving others—especially those with disabilities. One step closer to making a bigger difference through compassionate, hands-on care. #GastonCollege #CNA #Autism #ADHD
I DID IT!!! I’m officially the first neurodivergent student to complete the NC-HOPE Peer Support Specialist program! Just the WRAP course and filing with the state left. Using lived experience to uplift others — this is what I was meant to do.
