[nabs-l] Social Stuff

[Meghan Whalen]

Smile, I think I've made a very similar joke amongst friends once or twice.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I was the only blind student at my 
high school, too.  There had been blind students before me, including one 
Sean Whalen, so, I was dealing with little sister complex, too, but that's 
an entirely different subject.

I wanted to make sure people at my school were educated, so I joined the 
school's diversity organization.  I helped educate, and helped my principal 
to decide to have a half-day workshop for incoming freshman on acceptance 
and tolerance of people who are different from you.  I really do think it 
got through to a lot of people.

I spoke to all different age students around the district about overcoming 
false barriers that society sets for you and how your limits are only where 
you put them.

Well, I'm getting off topic, but there's my own 2.5 cents.

Best,
