Good morning Vishal,

I'm not quite sure if saying they don't care are the correct words to use.
Yes I was and still am very angry after what I heard. However I must ask
what are you doing to help yourself seek employment. The problem as I see is
these individuals who work in these sheltered workshops aren't doing
anything to try to help their own cases. As I said it's true I have been
unemployed for 3 years now in June, and I have had 2 unsuccessful job
placements one was my problem because of the fact that I couldn't memorize
the screen, since it was for poling the script was constantly changing.  the
other was I would say my ride or New Haven's para-transits. I was taken to
the wrong S&S and became so frustrated I walked off the job. 

I have to admit in both cases, BESB/DORS & Marrakesh were extremely
sympathetic. I have come to the conclusion that as Blind folks we're
basically on our own for employment. 

I do want to leave you with one more thought, and this is. That you my
friend are an extremely intelligent individual and are capable of
accomplishing great things. If yu try. Don't let yourself be put in the
position that so many of have (including myself)  that is to depend on
BESB/DORS or anyone other than yourself or your parents make your decisions
for you. You can do anything, you want if you stand fast & Stay strong.

Rich

P.S. I apologize if I ramble to much, but coming from a large family there
are 2 things I've learned the first is don't allow yourself to be pushed
around. And the 2nd is don't be afraid of a bloody nose.

yesterday, I amost feel that we've been had, by both DORS/BESB and Malloy's
representative. Its there something wrong with me, or did I get the
impression that it's fine that they pay the disabled less than minimum wage
as long as they had a place to go to each day. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that
was the impression I got. I am very disgusted, with what I heard. And I say
I don't know about the rest of you but I'd rather sit home with my thumb up
my Ass then get paid less than minimum wage! This crap about?having to move
slowly is just that! I personally think it's wrong that anyone should have
to swallow that bullshit!
