[Community-service] Community-service Digest, Vol 62, Issue 1

Jordan,
 It takes courage to be honest with one’s self.  That courage  always serves one well,  no matter what it pertains to.
 what Nella says is  true in that  one  should try to focus on the positives as much as one can.  Think of what you can do well as much as you might think of what you can’t do.  This balanced approach is what can  be very beneficial in coming  to an accurate self-appraisal.
  If you feel as if it is in your best interest to gain a solid foundation in blindness skills, then  there are ways to do this.
 The National Federation of the Blind  has three  affiliated  adjustment to  blindness training centers.  these facilities offer top-level training in Braille, Cane Travel, Technology,  daily living skills and access to highly successful and competent blind role models.
     Someone  said during at our meeting last year that gaining  good blindness skills are the difference between  participating in service projects and being the service projects. 
 Because the goal of our division is to be the servers and not the served, I would   encourage you to look into training if you believe it might help you live the life you want, I know the training  helped me.
