[humanser] Internship

[Michael Abell]

Christina,
	I hope that you have room for one more congratulatory reply. I
accidently deleted your message, so I am glad that you posted again so that
I can express my felicitations.
	My internship begins in the Fall and I am so excited That there are
so many out there representing blindness in action. I received an email from
Linkedin about how difficult it is to find internships. It is telling about
the strength of the NFB that individuals are not asking how to get an
internship; it is about how best to perform the duties. I am proud of you
and look forward to your dynamic reporting on your placement. Go Change the
World!

Warmly,

Rev. Michael "Big Dog" Abell

Helping individuals to find their eyes in the dark.

Thank you, everyone.

setting with teen girls in Germany. Like with everything else, I'd suggest
if you have the chance, to visit the group and get to know the physical
layout you'll be spending most of your time in, perhaps before you start
working. And if you can: organize sort of a meet and greet, maybe over
coffee, where you introduce youself in a no-pressure setting, where you can
in general terms explain about your blindness. Keep it nice and basic, and
then they might have specific questions if they feel comfortable enough with
you. Calculate in lots of time in your mind to get to know everybody and the
atmosphere. Do not put too much pressure/expectations on yourself in the
beginning to immediately impress everybody with dealing with blindness
issues, etc. Focus maybe instead on that you are now a part of that group.
Give yourself and them a lot of room to grow into this situation.
