Hey Josh! if you are interested in coming, you could always just come
for the weekend. I know missing school isn't most students' intent,
but just consider the positives if you did. It's a special chance to
meet hundreds of students from across the country who could say the
words that could help you in any of your struggles as a blind student
or give you ideas for fun pass-times. BISM would appreciate your
presence even if it ends up being for a day or two.
