[Blindtlk] Making a Difference, (Cont.): Bringing the right attitude out

Wed Sep 3 10:34:17 UTC 2014

This is the link to the Braille Monitor that 2nd Vice President of NFB of
NY, Mike Robinson, wrote in 2003

Title is High Partial is still Blind.

Maybe some should read it, and not judge those that are partially sighted.

I know that not many do not judge, but just wanted to point this out. Until
I met Mike Robinson here in NY, I felt awkward and out of please that I
still had some vision.

"Live the Life You Want"

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Mike Robinson who is vice president of the NFB of NY.  He is legally blind
and doesn't use a cane or a dog. I will be posting the story he wrote many
years ago for the braille monitor.  He is legally blind.  The meaning of
legally blind is 20/200.

I have some sight and i use a cane and guide dog does that mean I am faking
OMG

Linda, I hear people faking the "blind" card.  In reality, that's a bad
idear (idea.)  She did not have a cane.
