My name is Jordan Toma, and I believe I have a strong and inspiring message for young students with learning disabilities. My story is geared towards 8th grade to high school students their parents and teachers. I am currently working as a Financial Advisor and started my own insurance business “But it hasn’t always been this easy” My life has been a roller-coaster with this “Learning Disability” and I let it control my confidence and outlook on life for the first 18 years. I let it define me - it became a permanent label stuck to my shirt every day. I will give you an idea of what I mean. You know when you are attending a conference and they give you a name tag to pin to your shirt? As far as I was concerned I had a permanent name tag. But mine said “You’re not as smart as everyone else. You can’t do this”. This happened to me because of my experience in school and it grew roots into everything I did. I would feel helpless in class. I struggled to understand why I couldn’t just pick up information like everyone else. I remember sitting in class telling myself I am going to try really hard to understand everything in class today just like everyone else and be a normal student, but I just couldn’t grasp it! I was made fun of because sometimes I had to have special lessons. Other students, even so-called “friends” called me dumb. I let this problem control me until I graduated in 2008. I was accepted into a life changing program called Step Ahead at Centenary University. I remember moving in filled with fear and anxiety. I went into the bathroom looked at myself in the mirror and promised myself I was going to change. I knew I couldn’t let this label last forever. After that I started building a foundation of confidence and belief in myself brick by brick. It has brought me to where I am today. This journey has just started for me but now I believe it’s time to help young students that can relate to my story. My objective is to create the foundations of the belief, the confidence, the work ethic and everything that you need to become the best you can be now and not let anything ever get in your way. For the full account of my inspirational story I would love to come and speak to students, parents and teachers and take you on my ride from when it all started to now.

I am a mom, nurse and teacher. I have walked through death as a loved one, as a supporter and as an educator. I find that, while death is sad, we add unneeded trauma to it. The families live with guilt after the funeral, caretakers carry burdens home with them after their shifts and educators avoid the topic because it isn't on the standardized exams. After working in Oncology and Trauma ICU for years, death was not an everyday occurrence but a frequent one. Death often came suddenly adding stress and traumatic emotions to the situation. Care takers only had tools and techniques learned on the job. Families grasped at straws that frequently were saturated in disbelief and anger. The trauma from the death far surpasses the moment the heart stopped. As a Nurse Educator I am pushing the envelope to ensure my students have tools to deal with death. They need the tools to care for patients, families and themselves. This isn't about post mortem cares, death is so much more than the physical loss of life. I teach the emotional tools and help them gain experience in a safe environment. We work through the grieving process and understand the impact of what we, as caretakers, bring into the room of the dying patient. As a mom, I practice what I preach. I discuss death with my children. We work through loss together. I educate them about the different options as far as what "everything" means. Ranging in ages from 8-18, the conversations are different with each of them; unique to the age and the personality. My children will never have to be traumatized by guilt, I have given them the gift of my wishes. My passion is to minimize the trauma that death can create. Death is sad, end is sad but we don't have to live with guilt of not knowing.
