[il-talk] Latest entries on the Why I Am A Federationist page

[Brian Mackey]

Greetings to all,

 

This is NFBI Webmaster Brian Mackey with the latest entries on the Why I Am
A Federationist page.

 


Justin Salisbury:


I once tried to function like I was still sighted. I struggled. The NFB
taught me that it is respectable to be blind.


Jeannie Massay:


The NFB confirmed my own belief that blindness is not what defines me or my
future, happiness or success in life.


Johna:


The NFB supported me and gave me the tools I needed for success in college!
Also, it helped me find my passion in law.


Mark Riccobono:


When I can help a blind sister facing really awful discrimination, and
hearing the powerful stories of other blind people like my friend Pam Allen.


Amy Mason:


I’m surrounded by brilliant people who know that I and other blind folks can
be experts in our chosen fields.


Jonathan Franks


By meeting members of the National Association of Blind Students & the Texas
Association of Blind Students I knew that my blindness didn’t define my
ability to graduate from college.‏
