[CT-NFB] When Assertiveness and Confidence Made All the Difference | National Federation of the Blind

[Jim McCollum]

This is a very good article. 
When I went to vote last week, I walked to the polling place, where I walked up a flight of steps to enter the building. When I left, a gentleman seemed confused that I chose the steps rather than the ramp. The steps took me directly to the sidewalk, and the ramp lead to a parking lot beside the building, which would have messed up my orientation. Sometimes we just have to be polite, but firm.
