Sue Tebow’s Testimonial In ASL
“My name is Sue Tebow and I’m from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
When I arrived here by plane, I felt uneasy and anxious. When I saw a few people I knew, it was really heartwarming. Seeing familiar faces helped me feel more confident and comfortable. I didn’t know everyone but it was a pleasure meeting them and making introductions.
We started with a workshop. Honestly, I have never really liked workshops and usually never bother attending them. But because Pink Arrows paid for everything, I felt responsible to stay and participate. I’m so glad I did because I really appreciated the information that was shared. I don’t remember everything but there was some very interesting and helpful information.
Later that evening, when I went to bed, I found myself reflecting on the workshop. I realized that it really was a great resource. With open discussions and feedback, it made a big difference. I was really impressed.
Yesterday, we went rock painting and then went on a boat tour. I even got to eat lobster. Yum!
When we returned, we had another workshop. What I learned from that workshop really hit me hard: self care is important, and I need to make myself a priority.
For a long time, I have always done things for others and put myself last. I realized that it’s time to start putting myself first. Maybe I need to meet people halfway instead of always being the one giving everything. For now, I’m going to take a gradual approach and adjust to this new way of thinking. Over time, I hope to learn how to take better care of myself and make myself number one.
Many thanks for the wonderful workshops. They were truly amazing! I feel bittersweet about going home. I love you all!”
Thank you for sharing your experience, Sue. 🤟🏻💕
Stronger Together. 💕🤟🏻
