@ashelbywilliams7, Good morning. I can tell that you are a teacher! Your story is powerful and you have included so many of the issues that are part of the entire world of trnsplantation. I firmly believe that you will do well in whatever you are inspired to accomplish!
I used to teach, but retired early when my liver disease began to interfere with daily living. I chose to not go back to the classroom, but I do know of a teacher nearby, with a liver transplant, who taught successfuy for many years after her transplant in a kindergarten classroom until full retirement.

I believe that you are going to be an asset to Advocacy as an Ambassador with UNOS, and I know that you are going to meet and inspire some amazing people - patients, living donors, and donor families. I was a volunteer anmassador locally until the headquarters and activities moved out of my area. I remember welcoming donor families at annual remembrance ceremonies. I was especially blessed to meet a young family who was there to honor their infant donor son. I remember holding and hugging the baby's 2 year old sister while listening to the mother and grandmother. Sometimes we speak, sometimes we listen.

When does school year begin for you? What age do tou work with?
