[Faith-talk] Hello from Lincoln, NE

[Tammy]

Yes, the training is super tuff because it is mentally and physically challenging.  If the back and feet continue to be problematic, don't hesitate to discuss it with the Instructor.  We want students to learn but not make it so rigid and difficult that you feel the only option is drop out.  You aren't the first person to come through with physical issues and they will assume you are fine unless you start a conversation.

That's just my 2 cents worth as an Instructor. Explain the issues and I bet you as a team will come to a better plan.

Yes David you’re right Minnesota has some very interesting features like the light rail and the skywalks. Minneapolis is too big for me. If I could just import that wonderful transit system to Wisconsin I’d have it made! Everything else is going pretty well at the Center for me but travel is not something i love. Anything else I can do under sleep shades without stress. I sure need prayer for travel class! Medically this has been pretty overwhelming on my back with scoliosis and feet issues. A lot of days I come home and sleep. I’m hoping my body gets more acclimated and my back issues are less once I start to improve my posture they’re walking with my head up rather than watching where my feet are going. 

If anyone want to write me off list I will give you my address and I can practice reading and writing braille by letters. I can write the alphabet pretty well but I’m having a horrible time with some of the contractions. My goal is to get much better with slate and stylus so you are doing me a service!

God be with you all

You can look out the glass and see the sidewalks you are walking over and the streets. I pray you can stick it out, and you really get to know a lot of people, and will be thinking about you.
