Career workshop and 'power statements'

Today began the three day journey of the career workshop. Due to the nature of where I work (it is a a temporary job) the point is to get you ready to get another, better job. Granted, I have one of the best boss' that I have ever had and the work enviornment is nice. That said, every day that I go in, I can not help but wish that I could have found a job on my own. Do not get me wrong, I am increadibly greatful for the opportunity that I have to work and grow the skills that I have, but the interview that I had was not like having a 'real' interview, and I know that it is a temp job. Everyone at the store has to take a two or three day career workshop. I have actually already taken the workshop, but it has been at least two years, and I have been wanting to take it again for a while and just have not gotten around to it. Now that I work in the building that is interconnected to the place where the workshops are and I have to take it, and I get paid for it.... hello, why not take it now. Many of my coworkers on my team either called me a cheater because I was working with them for only half of the day, or bellyached that everyone has to take it. I am not sure what they are complaining about, I for one am greatful for it.
Today we learned about introducing ourselves in thirty seconds and having a power statement. When writing my power statement, I felt as tho I was writing a novel. Here is my first draft:
I am dedicated to raising awareness of different disabilities. I am about to appear on a panel at Utah State University for a class focusing on Special Education. I have, and continue to research information on Dyslexia, Attention Defficite Dysorder, Insulin Resistance, Deafness, Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Dysorder. I have also taken two Special Education classes and am high-beginning to intermediate fluency of American Sign Language. I strive to learn more everyday about different topics that effect peoples every day lives. As a result I have learned many things about a variety of disabilities, as well as adaptation skills and assistive technology. I know how to use people first language and am not afraid to ask how best to interact with different people in different stages of life.
Tomorrow I meet with a gentleman who will help me iron out my resume. I am so excited. I know, totally geeky of me, but hey, why not.
Now, the question becomes, Who knows someone who is looking for an employee like me, or could point me in a good direction?
PS, We also learned about networking today as well. ;)
