“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are
spiritual beings having a human experience.” - Teilhard de Chardin


Hi all,
  I know that many of you have  seen my posts,  and that  I've also
have had the  pleasure of meetingsome on  the  list at one point or
another, but   list serves always get new members and I figured I
would re-introduce myself.
  My name is Darian.  I am  a student at city college of san
francisco, where  I am in the process of earning  general education
credits to transfer to  a university  (undecided to where this may
be).   I am thinking  that I may go for a degree in recreation,  with
an eventual  goal of a masters in orientation and mobility.
  When I am not in class, I also serve on my  college's student
council as  a  senitor, and enjoy the process of  learninghow to
advocate for and serve  a large student population.
 In 2004, I  graduated from the colorado center for the blind in
Littleton (outside of  Denver), colorado. I Joined AmeriCorps in 2008,
and got alot of travel and  hands-on service  expirience in different
parts of the country, serving different  communities  with differing
socio-economic   caricteristics and needs.   I  I  graduated fromthe
AmeriCorps program I served in, July 2009.
  I've been a member of the NFB for  about nine years  or so, and I
have had the absolute pleasure of meeting some of my good friends and
learning alot  about myself within the time serving in chapters and
working along side and talking to  people here.
 at current, I am a member of the san francisco chapter, and I serve
as a board member and membership co-chair of the national association
of blind students, a division of the national federation of the blind.
I have enjoyed learning  so much about leadership, and meeting so many
amazing  and talented individuals  that I work along side of on the
board. As well, I  enjoy serving  and getting to know  so many of my
talented  fellow students who  do great things in the classroom, and
in   the affiliatts and state student divisions all across the
country!
   All this said, I look forward  to getting to know  all of you and
learning from  you as well, as I have many questions I am probably
going  to post to the  list serve at some point soon.
 Thanks so much for reading my mile-long E-mail.
   All the best,
  Darian
