[il-talk] Aira

I signed up at the convention and have not received anything, I called the main number last night and they said something about it not being sent so I asked it to be sent again to my home address, rather than the address here for my host family and where I attend school 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
