[il-talk] Proving your blindness

[Robert Hansen]

I have also been told that I have an attitude. I attended the Nebraska Center for the Blind visually impaired. And you know what that's a good that I have an attitude because it is a positive attitude that I have. And it is an attitude that keeps me going on a daily basis. It is a strong attitude. And I like that attitude.

sincerely,

If I go out on a walk or travel on the bus, part of that experience is proving to myself I can do it. If someone says, "Can I help you with xxx," my basic reaction is I'm going to prove to that person I can do it myself. Maybe I have an attitude, but that's me. And I've been told those who've gone through an NFB training center come out with an attitude. All in all, I think it's a healthy attitude for a blind person.
