[nabs-l] introductionn, and a few questions

[Rania]

Hi welcome to the list.
My name is Rania, I attend classes at Institute for Therapeutic Massage in 
NJ.
Asking the teachers to email you things is a good idea.
I do it all the time and they are more then to do that for me.
I also have the teacher email the powerpoint notes to me ahead of time so I 
can follow along with everyone else.
I just pull up what I need and follow along on my labtop using power point.
Rania,
"For everyone who thought I couldn't do it.
For everyone who thought I shouldn't do it.
For everyone who said, 'It's impossible."
See you at the finish line."
