Someone I value and admire...

Every one of us has someone we look up to, admire, or value. It might be a family member, a friend, a teacher, a celebrity, or someone who has inspired us through their actions. These special people can teach us important lessons, encourage us to be our best, and help shape who we are. This week, we’re sharing the people who have made a difference in our lives and why they mean so much to us.


The people I value the most, and who I respect most is my friend called Makayla. She is helping me with my fitness and going to the gym. I see her Fridays and she is amazing. She helps me to work hard in the gym with the exercise bike, arms machine and the rower. She loves Disney music too and we listen to it together. We also get to do fun things like bowling and have a great time.
I have another support worker who takes me to dancing, and guess what, my dancing is back tonight! I love my dancing, I learn new moves that I can show to my friends and we also get to have dinner together afterwards. Sometimes I get help with my room but I can now do lots of things all by myself. I am very thankful to these people because they have helped me grow and learn.
This is Claire signing off, for another week of blogging with my friends.


I don't think I have just one special person or animal.  I guess different stages or different lessons in life will change your special person. 
I had a special person since kindergarten until about I was twenty-three, but things change and she’s not very special to me anymore. But that’s okay. 
When I was twenty one, I met my friends Sabrina and Shane and since then they’ve both been my special people. I feel so different when I’m with them, kinda like I can take my trench coat off and be myself. Then Ned came and he also became a special person in my life, but he has moved to Queensland. We do still talk now and then.
But most recently I have meet the most special person ever, all I wanted was to take my dad to a cafe, I say things happen for a reason. 
Since then whenever we spend time again, she brightens up my day, she’s the kindest soul and wouldn’t hurt anyone.  
We both have a lot in common and we both just annoyed one another, to the point where our bellies hurt,  that a true meaning of a special person. 
Even when we are apart we send reels to one another. 
Then there’s the support workers who are special, even if they don’t know it they all bring joy to each one of us. Especially on our bad days.
My cat banshee and Maggie are special to me too, both for different reasons, Banshee because he chooses me to be his human mum, he pulled me in his cage and he trapped and wouldn’t let me go. Then this sounds crazy but she’s like a sister to me, she finished off our family. Every night one of us bring her into the lounge room because it’s not the same without her.  When she’s in a playful mood she’s hops so we chase her. 
Don’t limit yourself to just one special person.




Have you ever had a moment where you have thought about what the different people in life mean or have meant to you? Not just in passing but really deeply thought about them and been grateful for whatever impact they have had on your life. It can bring on many different emotions or feelings to think about so it’s important to be kind to yourself and take a quiet moment to yourself alone if you need to. 
Sometimes one person may stand out in your mind, wether it’s a relative, friend, teacher or maybe it’s a celebrity that you met. It could be multiple people, it is possible for many people to leave a big impact on your life. It’s like leaving footprints in the snow but it’s on your heart instead. They’ll be there permanently and it will leave warm and fuzzy feelings inside. 
You're probably wondering who my person is, I’ve decided to keep my person close to my heart and it’s funny because most people are aware of who my person is. It just feels important today to keep her close to my heart. I would say that she is extremely important to me and has impacted many lives and not just mine. I love her endlessly and her impacts to my life have been many. She is one of my favourite people and some days when I think about her I do get emotional. I am endlessly grateful for her. 
I hope that you take a moment to think about the people in your life. 
Your friend always,
Shan.


A special person to me is my mum. 
We went to the concert with my mum and it was good fun for me. I just really enjoyed myself and I have so many more concerts in September. I'm looking forward to seeing Ice Nine Kills concert with a terrible support band called Electric Callboy, but we can we just leave the concert.
I get to see horror movies with my mum which I am thankful to her for, we love horror movie together.
We went to the escape room for my 18th birthday with my mum it was good fun and I'm was really good at doing puzzles.
We watch my animation from Villager News it was really funny and hilarious I'm just really good for my 3D animation, I'm looking forward to see the Horror movies from my other program with my mum.  I am sure she will love it at the end of the year. I am very thankful to my mum. 
This is Korey signing off for another week and have an awesome day!


The blog topic is about a person that we appreciate. I am going to write about several people who are special to me.
First, I would like to write about my teacher's aide. She helped me during high school and was also an emotional support for me. If I was not feeling okay, I could talk to her, and she always reminded me that it is okay to cry. My teacher's aide was also very thoughtful. Before I went to Indonesia for a holiday during high school, she gave me a present. Inside the gift were an activity magazine, a teen poster magazine, and some lollipops.
I also appreciate my support worker. She has helped me understand social situations because I sometimes misunderstand what people mean. For example, when someone says, "You should write this," I sometimes think they are telling me what to do. My support worker explained that people are usually just sharing their ideas and opinions. She also picked me up for Umbrella Support and drove me home for four years. In the beginning, I had a different driver who took me to the Handmade group.
My parents are also very special to me. I enjoy spending time with them. Sometimes they correct me when I make a mistake. One time, my dad gently told me not to message people too early in the morning. He was not angry. He spoke in a calm voice. My dad is a great cook, and my mum is a great cook too.
My friend from high school is also very special to me. We caught up last year in April. We have not spoken much lately, but we are still friends. She respects my boundaries, and that makes me happy, even if she has different opinions from me. I have known her since year seven, and we always ate recess and lunch together.
During senior school, we did not spend as much time together because we were both busy. She was studying for her VCE subjects, so I often enjoyed some quiet time during recess and lunch instead of socialising. After high school, we exchanged phone numbers so we could keep in touch. At first, we chatted on WhatsApp, and now we also chat on Instagram because she has an account there too.
My friend asks normal adult questions, such as whether I plan to drive a car or get married. I do not get offended. I simply answer, "No, I am not planning to do that," and she replies, "That's fair." She does not only ask fun questions. She also asks everyday adult questions. Do you have a special friend in your life?
I also appreciate my cousin. I have many cousins on my mum's side, but she is the one who reaches out to me the most. She has a busy life, but on special occasions she always takes a moment to send me a message. Even though she does not celebrate Easter or Christmas, she still wishes me well. She also gave me a Donald bag charm, and I attached it to my Mario backpack.
When she was little, she was very quiet and kept to herself. She enjoyed watching Disney Junior and playing on her DSI and iPad. When I saw her again last year, she had changed so much. On the first night we met, she gave me a big bear hug. I almost cried happy tears because I was so touched.
Thanks for reading. This is strong-minded Jacinda signing off.


The people I value the most and who I respect the most is my sister Kaitlyn and my mum. Because they help me. They give me dinner, they make my lunch, my mum makes my breakfast, my mum helps me with my clothes, my mum and my sister do my hair, my mum plaits my hair, Kaitlyn always brushes my hair makes my hair pretty. Kaitlyn puts me to bed, tucks me in, cuddles me and says good night and kisses me goodnight. Kaitlyn watches movies with me. Kaitlyn paints my nails for me. My sister makes me feel so happy and loved.
Someone else I value and has helped me a lot is Martina. She takes me to dinner with friends every month. Picks me up and takes me home. I like talking to Martina. She makes me feel happy. She used to take me to bowling that was so fun. Martina is always looking out for me. I love Martina. Thank you for everything you do Martina.
Good bye form Ronalda 




Hi readers, how are you? Today's topic is who do you look up to and what do they do? I have chosen to talk about Martina she is amazing at what she does. She is my support coordinator she answers any questions I have and she comes to dinner with friends. She comes to the cafe that we run called Reach Employment. She arranges my appointments and she helps me make important calls. She used to do bowling with me and my friends and other support workers.  We see her at dinner with friends once a month and sometimes morning melodies. She arranges for me to use a laptop every week and supports me. She sometimes hangs out at the shops and we go out to different places and sometimes to the movies. She makes me laugh and gives the best hugs. I am so grateful for her in my life she is full of happiness always smiling friendly and bubbly. Martina is the best and I wouldn't choose anyone better than her. I have known her for five years and hopefully lots more.
Let us know who you look up to and what they do in the comments below. We love to hear from you! Thank you for reading my blog this is blogging queen Beth signing off until our next blogging adventures. 


Dear readers, this week's topic is someone who we value the most and respect.
Let me start by telling you about who are the people I will always respect, they are my family like my parents and my sister and Martina my support worker.  I love  my family the most and will I always put my family first because I was  raise to be respectful and to put everyone first. 
My family do a lot for me like encourage me when something positive happens and they are so loving and supportive when I achieve something, such as when I got a new job or when I  graduated from high school. They are always very good at giving me advice when I need advice and I really appreciate everything they have done and are still doing for me. 
I love spending time with my family and going on holidays.  I love when we go glamping and I love always cooking for them and I can say that's one of the skills that I'm very thankful for, and all the skills they have given me.
