Esteban

This year, things have been different again. After recovering from the disappointing Esteban had when he lost his 2 jobs, he felt happy again when he received the suggestion of volunteering in a computer course at UFV. He also started another course with UFV called Computer Applications on-line and the opportunity to help in a Ministry who cooks lunch for single Moms. He was busy and feeling competent again.

Esteban also had the opportunity to be a speaker in a panel of youth with Aspergers Syndrome. This panel was organized by a Special Needs Teacher at one of the classes for Special Needs at UFV. Again, Esteban had a second opportunity to speak again  in front  of around 50 people. All parents, professionals and kids. In both occasions, he did a great job. We felt very proud of him to do this and felt very impressed at the way he approached the audience and articulated his ideas. He had good insight and great confidence.

This month, we will be celebrating Esteban's graduation. I am excited to see him walk with his cap and gown and to dance the waltz with him. We are practicing at home already! Another exciting part of the ceremony is that Alfredo and I will get the chance to walk in the procession along other parents before the students.

Now, he has been offered the opportunity to take a work experience program for Special Needs People at UFV. The program is called TASK
I don't know if Esteban will still take the master Commission Discipleship Program at church after TASK.

Well, too many things happening in Esteban's life and feeling happy that all have been life experiences that God has prepared to help Esteban to grow and to become a great man.
