> Hi all,
>
> It's Jennifer from Rhode Island. I don't write too much on the list, but I 
> thought I would send a short message about my experiences at the Carroll 
> Center.
>
> I know...it's not an NFB Center, but in my opinion, it was just as good 
> for someone in my situation. I learned a great deal of things I would have 
> never learned had I not gone at all.
>
> Cooking I think is my greatest accomplishment. While I'm still not a 
> gourmet chef, I can cook basic meals. Food has never been my best friend, 
> so I eat to live as some might say. I learned how to cook using an 
> induction unit, which is basically a portable burner that I can put on a 
> table at my level so that I don't spill or knock anything over.
>
> Mobility was somewhat of a challange because some things were just not 
> realistic for me. Learning how to go to the train station to take the 
> train somewhere just isn't a realistic or practical goal for me. I did 
> learn the layout of the area though and how to get from one building to 
> another without assistance...I know the layout of the inside of the 
> buildings like the back of my head. I even went out to eat with some 
> friends using para transit. It was very stressful for me, but I did it 
> successfully. I learn routs very quickly.
>
> I have great computer skills, and I learn things very fast. I learned how 
> to use K1000, various note takers and how to use a slate and stylis. I 
> know how to use a digital recorder and the Victor Stream as well.
>
> The best part was that I made a lot of friends, both students and staff. I 
> was very sad the day I left, but I keep in touch with everyone there, so 
> it's not too bad.
>
> Anyway, that was an  overview of my training in Boston. I wish I could do 
> it over again. Now I'm home and bored. I don't know what to do next.
