By Shannon Laird, ILS Facilitator
I would like to introduce to you one of our wonderful clients from the east bay, Chris! He has been with Compass for a year and has really come out of his shell. Chris was hesitant to start ILS services and was not sure if this was something that he was ready to commit to. Learning something new can be intimidating and it took Chris outside of his comfort zone. But with consistency, encouragement and a no-pressure approach Chris is enjoying his new extended family here at compass!
Cooking Up Confidence
Chris has been striving over the last couple of months. One of his newfound enjoyments is cooking, turning what may have once felt like a grueling task into a creative and rewarding experience. Chris has been experimenting with new recipes and making some of his favorite dishes and really embracing the process of making homemade meals. Along the way he has learned about kitchen safety, keeping things clean, using tools properly and being careful with heat and the handling of sharp knives with care as well as staying vigilant while things are cooking.
Gunpla and Games
Some fun facts about Chris, he has a passion for building Gunpla, which are inspired by Japanese humanoid robots called Gundam. They are futurists and appear in anime, video games and manga. Gunpla are plastic models that you can build and customize, really making them your own creation. Some other hobbies that Chris has are playing video games, he really likes Turn based games which are games where players take turns performing different actions or tactical role play.
Streaming, Screams, and Dead Meat
You can also find Chris streaming YouTube channels. One of his favorite channels is Dead Meat. It is geared towards the discussion of different horror films, video games and other horror related media providing comedic commentary and behind the scenes information. Chris enjoys all types of horror films, appreciates the artistry behind the scares, special effects, and storytelling. Whether dissecting classic horror or seeking out the last chilling release.
Friends, Felines, and Fun Facts
Chris also likes hanging out with his friends and occasionally cats sitting for his sister when she is away. If you ever have the opportunity of meeting Chris, he would love to talk to you about video games or your favorite horror films.
