Let's talk about what we want to accomplish in our futures. The sky's the limit.

Talking about goals and what means the most in our lives

Plenty of goals to focus on -- pick the ones that appeal to you the most

Selected goals on display

It was a lovely warm evening with a wonderful sunset providing a great backdrop to the Padres game.
second class

Here's a photo of our 2nd class from July 2006. And a great bunch they were -- and still are!

Marie and Rachel are interviewed for possible use in a PSA being developed for What's Next? by students at Crawford High School.

Guest interviewer Maria guides Joanie through a practice interview as Mentor Cathy takes notes for critique.
Honing job and interview skills

Mentees and mentors listen as Marie and Dan outline "dressing for success" tips when heading out for a job interview.
Spending the day at SeaWorld

Hey, Mike, let's get some food before the show.

Let's see, now, which way is Shamu Stadium from here?

Mentees and mentors check out maps of SeaWorld to find the shows they want to see.

Shamu takes flight before making a big, big splash.

Mentees, mentors and a wayward walrus ganged up to hang out at SeaWorld last weekend. Most of us managed not to get splashed by Shamu.
San Diego Mayor holds disability forum

Nancy and Cathy discuss the Mayor's forum.

Several mentors & mentees attended San Diego's mayoral forum on disability issues. More photos in Gallery.
The subject is dating

The What's Next? mentees and mentors tackled a hot issue at this meeting, just after Valentines Day -- Dating & Relationships. Breaking into small groups of males and females, the discussion was in high gear. Here a group of guys talk about their experience.

Another table, another discussion. Everyone has a story to tell.

The guys may have been a little more tentative about sharing experiences, but slowly, surely the experiences came forth.
Just a spin through the park

We gathered together after several hours scattered through the park, to share impressions about our adventures.

In early February in beautiful southern California, the What's Next? gang spent an afternoon in Balboa Park, visiting museums and art galleries, and just hanging out.
What's cookin'? We're cookin'

Sam and Travis talk some turkey over the personalized pizzas they built. Guys know how to build a pizza (even if Travis's was a little bent).

The topic was Dating & Relationships at last Saturday's What's Next? meeting.
A popular and hot subject -- but first the gang stoked up on lunch. This time it was Chinese.

Rachel starts to build a personal pizza as part of a program on cooking for yourself when you have a disability.

Jen, right, explains to mentees and mentors some of the accessible kitchen tools that making cooking easier.
