The Winter I'm Determined Youth Summit

With Miss Virginia - She has a disability too!

With Mr. Doug Cox, the head of Special Education with the Virginia Dept. of Education

With Darren (who I met at the summer summit) and another staff member of the summit

With my friend Zach, who I also met at the summer summit. His mom is also very nice!

With staff members from the summit!

at the dance with my friends

The dance was  great!

with the DJ for the dance!


I had a wonderful time at the winter Summit in Staunton Virginia last month. I got to meet new friends and meet up with old friends from the summer summit. The most fun event was the dance and kareoke.

I learned more about how to stand up for myself and others. My mom went to special classes just for parents and she had a really good time too. We had a beautiful drive through the mountains going to the summit, but coming home the weather was awful with lots of fog and rain! I really miss all the friends I made at the summit. I hope I get to see them again. If any of you are reading my blog please email me so we can stay in touch! My mom and I want to thank everyone at the summit and everyone who made the summit happen. It was really wonderful. Other students with disabilities in Virginia should really apply to be apart of the next summit. You will learn so much and make so many friends!

Love,

Daniela
