<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Good blindness training has a lot to offer you whether or not you get your cataract removed. You deserve it, so I don’t want you to let it go that easily.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Good blindness training will give a person alternative techniques, yes, and those are important. That’s not where it ends, though. Good blindness training will
focus on building confidence, problem-solving skills, and the real understanding that you belong in the world just as much as sighted people. We need the confidence to be willing to put ourselves into any given arena and to stand tall when we face the onslaught
of well-intended custodialism or maybe blatant disrespect. We also need the skills to back up that confidence. They go hand-in-hand.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Can you learn to mow the lawn? Sure. I actually know for a fact that lawn-mowing is taught at BLIND, Inc., in Minneapolis. Can you learn JAWS? Yes, of course.
Since Window-Eyes is now free as part of Microsoft Office, the possibilities have opened right up to blind people. If you want to, maybe, become a vendor or do something else that can justify JAWS as a job-related need, it’s possible that BESB can buy you
JAWS, too. Don’t give up on that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Nobody is a perfect traveler or Braille reader. Nobody is perfect at anything, for that matter, but we can always try to better ourselves. You owe it to yourself,
man, and so do so many blind people everywhere. I put it off for a while and told myself I couldn’t justify taking time away to go to training, and every day since training has been better because of training. I don’t live your life or anyone else’s, but it
is such a great thing, and I don’t want anyone to have to miss out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
