Subject: [nabs-l] Transitioning Student

I am in the process of transitioning from print to braille. Since the 7th
grade I have been teaching myself braille during my free time by taking the
courses from the hadley school for the blind.  I finished the 3rd literary
braille course from hadley this past semester. I went to CCB this summer and
learned all of my contractions. I don't have a very knowlegable vision
teacher. I feel like I am running out of drive to continue reading. I am a
senior in high school and am trying to juggle two advanced placement classes
(with the rest of my other classes), my school musical, and my varsity
choirs. Does anyone know of any listservs or anything of that type that are
for students making the transition from print to braille? I don't really
have any friends that are making the switch. They either have known braille
all their life or are reading print. And also my parents don't know Braille
either so they can't really relate with me on this situation. I do  plan on
attending an NFB training center after I graduate to get better blindness
skills. I am leaning towards LCB. Any advice would be greatly appreciative. 

Sincerely,
Kayleigh
