Are you a middle/high school/college student?

 In the month of  February  we are accepting and featuring  submissions from students from middle  school to grad school.  non-grad and in-between for our blog nfbcommunityservice.wordpress.com <http://nfbcommunityservice.wordpress.com/>). So if you  are a student and doing the community service thing  then send along your story to our blog  chair Chris Parsons at christine-parsons at sbcglobal.net <mailto:christine-parsons at sbcglobal.net> anytime between now and the end of the month.
 Stories can be 500 words or less, include what you do and  with whom.  they may also include how you got involved with the group/project and what kind of alternative (non-visual) techniques you use to serve along side your sighted peers to get the job done.

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.

La National Federation of the Blind sabe que la ceguera no es la
característica que define tu futuro o a ti.  Todos los días elevamos las
expectativas de los ciegos, porque las bajas expectativas crean obstáculos
entre los ciegos y su futuro.  Puedes vivir la vida que queres, la ceguera
no te lo impide.

 “”...The challenges we face will not be solved with one meeting in one night. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.

We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek...” -Barack Obama     
 Your  unwanted vehicle can be  just what the blind need to make possibilities reality.
