[nabs-l] learning independent living

[Serena]

I think the people who said their centers wrote letters about them were 
referring to the centers uin their respective states, which indeed leave 
something to be desired.  The centers that Adrien was saying are so 
wonderful, I think, are the NFB centers in Louisiana, Colorado, and 
Minnesota.  To my memory, LCB didn't write a letter about how I was 
incapable of learning, although I'll admit that, at times, some of the 
instructors questioned my attitude/philosophy, without taking into account 
factors that might've made my attitude seem poor at times.  I agree that one 
size doesn't always fit all.
