[humanser] introduction and a few questions

[Lisa Irving]

Hi veias, 

You are asking excellent questions. Every vocation affords intrinsic value and also presents challenges. I encourage you to ask questions and consider shadowing   Human   Service para professionals and professionals in various settings. 

Are you going to attend an NfB training center or a similar blindness skills residential program?  Are you able to attend the convention? 

From,
Lisa Irving
