From start to finish! Pictures of Mandy achieving her COMS

Posted September 6, 2012 by Mandy Smith in ,

I thought what better way to celebrate achieving my orientation and mobility certification than to look at pictures over the last two years. 

 (Click on each picture for a more detailed description.)

 A lot has changed in the last two years and I’m thankful for it all.  I’d like to thank all of my iKan pals/co-workers who traveled this journey with me.  I’d also like to send a huge thank you out to all the consumers I’ve served over the last two years who have taught me more than I could have ever imagined!
