Kyle Update

Hey guys Kyle here.  I know its been awhile since we've posted.  Me and Katie have been so busy since she left to go back for school.  And we both wanted to write posts together. So I'm here to give a little update on what I've been up to this semester.

As most of you know, I am in my last semester of grad school.  It had't really hit me till yesterday when I found out my comps test is two weeks away.  So keep your fingers crossed for me to do well. Mine always are ;].

I also have been very busy working and interning for two different jobs.  At nights I intern in the athletic department working study.  It can be pretty fun interacting with the various student-athletes.  And yes I do get to see some of the football players.

My other job is working for the PATHS program in the Center for Disability and Development.  The PATHS program certifies people to become direct support professionals (DSP) people with disabilities. Within the program, I am an assistant instructor since I employ DSPs through a Medicaid waiver program called CLASS.  So whoever you vote for President, please keep  in mind the candidates policies on Medicaid.

Joining the PATHS program has been a great opportunity for me.  I have learned so much about advocacy and self-determination.  Check out adapt.org and http://www.imagineenterprises.com/rickb_staff_bios.html for more info.  Also check out paths.tamu.edu. Help spread the word about  advocacy, self-determination, and the PATHS program.

Till next time, Roll out.
