Albert, I believe Ben's example of really pushing for this camp is
commendable.  It is about advocating for himself.  As I explained to
Crystal, North Torrance High had a Fine Arts Retreat.  I was allowed to go,
provided that I was chaperoned.  The very hot, 80-degree weekend was
eventful, and I was the only blind student to go.  The only requirements? 
Keep your grades up and have fun.  I walked out of there empowered.



And the school needs to not be so dead set against chaperones.  If Ben wants
to be a great role model, we want to be behind him.  But remember:
it's not about just changing minds, it's about getting on the ball and
changing perceptions.  How about this: Why can't the National Federation of
the Blind host a music camp for prospective students at National
Conventions?
