[Blindtlk] Common college degrees of employment for blind americans

[Mari Hunziker]

Hello Peter,

I would like to introduce you to Austin TX and to the University of Texas at
Austin. It is a fantastic University in the heart of the city of Austin.
Check out their link to learn more at http://www.utexas.edu. Also you might
want to visit http://www.austin360.com to learn more about the city of
Austin TX. The transportation is good, there are several Catholic Parishes
in town as well. Here are some links you may want to visit to learn more
http://www.austindiocese.org/ Here is a listing of some of the centrally
located cathedrals in Austin TX.

Aside from that, if I were in your situation, and I have been. I am
legally blind, married with two children. My husband has recently returned
to school at The University of Texas at Austin. And he works full-time. It
is tough. But what we did is take it to the Lord, and you may have already
done this, we prayed long and hard about what to do, what to study, when to
to have children, where to live, etc. Sounds like the same stuff you are
dealing with. Well, I would love to help and think pretty highly of Austin
TX. I have lived here 10 years. I used to live in Southern California and
would have loved to have stayed there except it is WAY TOO expensive to live
there. I however, loved it so much really because I grew up there, so its my
home. But Austin has a great atmosphere. If you stay true to your heart and
your desires they will come about. Just have faith, pray, and let the Lord
guide the way. Good luck and God Bless you and your family. Take a look at
the links I've provided and let me know what you think. I have lots of
friends that are always willing to lend a hand.
Talk soon.
