No More Overprotective Mommy

Knowing my mom, I thought that she'd probably try to tell me not to go to Minnesota this weekend for the YAF conference. Luckily, I had the wonderful Iidea to let her know that she needn't worry about me- that I'd be taken care of this weekend. Knowing this made her quite impressed, impressed that I was taking part in a political experience. She said, "Have fun," and she also told me that she really wants to know all about the adventure when I get back from the busy adventure.
I know that I'm not going to be able to call and let her know what's going on this weekend, so I promised that I would let her know all about the conference when I get back. To my shock, she didn't get into her "Overprotective mommy" mode, and instruct me to call her when I leave UIS and get to Minnesota, but. . . I think she trusts me enough.

My Interesting Life As a Student

Springfield, Illinois, United States
I'm living in Springfield, but I'm originally from Chicago. I am now living in a group home for people who are visually impaired. Living at the Mary Bryant Home has been a huge step in my life. I am now able to get involved in activities every day. I am making lots of new friends, and I'm enjoying living with my new family. Since I'm the youngest person, I feel like I have lots of parents and grandparents, and even my best friend, who is like a big sister, to spend my time with. I don't think I'd change this for anything else in the world.
