I first discovered Best Buddies while working as a paraprofessional at my former high school. Almost all the students I worked with were a part of Best Buddies and would speak with such excitement whenever they had an event to go to, a meeting, or just passed their buddy in the hallway and exchanged "high fives." The positive and inclusive culture Best Buddies wove into the fabric of the school was felt throughout the community as well. Local businesses extended their generosity, parents joined forces to raise awareness, and friendships blossomed. Back then, I was amazed that an organization such as Best Buddies, that specialized in friendships, could make such a difference in the lives of everyone they touched. Now fast forward two years, and I have been nominated as a 2021 Champion for Best Buddies, CT. I truly feel that this is one of those full circle moments. Not only do I think this is one of the most fun and rewarding opportunities I could have, but I get to be a part of spreading the Best Buddies mission to those around me!
