[nabs-l] hello all

Hi Andrew. I understand how you feel. I have felt that way about people at 
my college for a long time. Unfortunately so many people view someone with a 
disability less of a person. This is something that we need to change. We 
need to show people that just because we are blind, we can still do things 
that everyone else does. I would suggest that you do not let these people 
get to you. Don't let your blindness get in the way of anything. Just be 
yourself, and don't let your blindness define who you are. Is there any kind 
of clubs and organizations you can get involved in? This could be a good way 
to meet new people and a way to make new friends. Do you have a NFB chapter 
where you are? Just get yourself out there so people can see how much fun 
you are. Talk soon.
Rachel Jacobs
