Even though I didn't get enough sleep for the past two days, I am still motivated. I am a Disable Veteran with PTSD and a year ago I wouldn't entered a room full of people. Also I wouldn't had have the courage to get up in front of a large group of people and speak. Today I presented a presentation that our group prepared as a team. I got up in front of a room full of Legionaries and I spoke. I was feeling panicky and very nervous,but I did feel also proud that I did it.
Going on the field trip helped me too. The section I volunteered at was the Day Treatment Center which was a clinic to that assisted Veterans with mentally issues, Some of the Veterans had some severe mental health issuse,PTSD,and drug and alcohol abuse too. I found out that there are many wonderful programs in Indianapolis that can help Veterans with Mental Health issues.
I really like the mentor and the group that Iam assigned too.
