about BESB here on this list. BESB can be a big help to you if you use them right and if their services lead toward goals that you have. The training that BESB is funding for me at the Louisiana Center for the Blind is excellent training and is an irreplaceable
component in my success professionally and personally. BESB has also provided me with a lot of technology that I have needed for college and life, and I have high hopes that this will continue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a lot of people who have done very well through it in other states and would assume that ours can provide similar opportunities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

available through NLS, too. It’s really insightful, and I think it will help any job seeker. I highly recommend it. For everything he recommends, Rich, you have the perfect personality to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
