I am passionate about Abilis because it has helped me gain confidence and independence and it has helped me with landing jobs and volunteering in my community. Abilis touches my heart very deeply and I am extremely thankful to have Abilis in my life.
This is my first time that I am participating in an event like this. I love performing in my Abilis Musical Theater class and I am excited to branch out and participate in Dancing Stars this fall. Of course we are all nervous at first but I just want to bring everything I've got to the table. The best thing I can do is not let the nerves get to me.
Doing the Dancing Stars for Abilis gives me the opportunity to showcase what I love. Music is my passion. I have never taken a dance class and I'm ready to try it and have fun.
