[nabs-l] NFB Training Center

[Darian Smith]

Casandra,
  Just my  little  bit of two cents to offer would be  this...
 I remember thatI needed to justify to my counsoler that  what
California  ( the state where I was residing)  had to offere in
regards to state ran   training centers was not what I was going to
best benifit from.
 to do this I had to do some  research into  the center(s)  the state
wanted to send me to and  then do research on the  NFB training center
(s) I wanted to go to.
  Once I gathered my facts, i wrote a letter of justification ( a
letter clearly articulating the main  things I am wanting to gain from
taking the time to  gain skills, and what  the NFB center offers that
the state ran center does not.)
 Unfortunately, I no longer have that letter, as it went into nothing
ness when my computer died on me some years back.
 I'm very positive  that   there are many people  hereon this list
that  have  stories to share that may be more helful than mine. That
said, I hope  my story helped you a little
 best,
  Darian
