[nabs-l] WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

Darrel,

I'm a little late in entering the thread, but excellent post as is typical
when you can be coaxed to come out of lurking. (grin)

I agree with Darrel's viewpoint.  I'm a little bummed by people who do not
chalk up this lady's success to be anything special, because to a certain
extent blind people need some type of media coverage to report on what blind
people are doing.  Unless a blind reporter is capturing the story, we can't
count on a perfect story to be told, and isn't it better for the public to
hear stories of blind people actively working in the general public than to
continue to rely on perceptions that blind people are still helpless and
unemployable?

I do not agree with this notion that blind people should try to blend in so
much that our individual achievements are overshadowed by a persistent need
to be thought of as "normal."  Normal is an elusive concept, and I
personally celebrate anyone's accomplishment whether it's graduating from
high school or learning the first six letters in the Braille alphabet.  If
people's individual successes are so mundane, the kernel books were a waste
of time and resources, and we may as well stop publishing most of the
Braille Monitor...

Alternatively, if the media is not covering the types of success we want the
public to hear about, why aren't we doing more to get out there and convey a
more positive image?

Best,

Joe

Subject: Re: [nabs-l] WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

I have been watching this thread closely and I find it very 
interesting. I
feel that my current employment is rather normal. I strive to do my job
well. I am currently employed full-time as a therapist within the
Psychiatric Services Department of a large hospital. I often hear things
like "you are so amazing" and so on. I know that what I do is quite
ordinary. I use blind-skills in my life and at my job, but my 
education and
practice to become a great therapist is not learned through
instruction/education focused on visual techniques.  I do my 
job well and
strive to be the best therapist I can be, but acknowledge that 
blindness is
not a significant factor in becoming the therapist I want to become.

However, when I read this article, I was amazed with this 
woman. I thought
her courage and hard work in overcoming  barriers is very 
impressive. I also
recognize that she has dove into a profession that very few blind people
have had the courage to explore. I asked a friend of mine about 
the teaching
approaches of instructors in a Culinary School. He stated that the
techniques are presented in mostly visual methods, but also 
recognized the
importance of "hands-on" learning. My point being, I do thing 
this woman's
ability to gain the skill and knowledge  of professional cooking from
"standard" methods of Culinary Arts instruction is 
extraordnary. I do not
believe that it takes a "super blind" person to become a blind chef or a
"super genious" to do what this young woman has accomplished, 
but I think
from her story that she has a drive and determination that is amazing -
whether she has sight or not.  
With all that being said, the author of the article should not 
be expected
to know what it means to be blind by spending a few moments 
with one blind
person. The over-all theme of the article gave credit to this 
individual and
her drive to not let her blindness slow her down. Although not 
the perfectly
written article from a blind person's perspective, it was an 
inspirational
and educational article to read.

Just My Opinion,

Darrel Kirby

				Hey all,
Thanks Jedi for the .input   I could not have said it better. I truly
understand how strong and incredible this woman 	is. 
Think about it.
Her primary challenge wasn't so much that she was blind, but her life's
circumstances, over coming poverty, language barrier, not getting
appropriate services and such. Add to that her blindness and 
you really have
to possess a lot of determination to do what she has. But this 
article in my
opinion , makes it sound like if it hadn't been for the sighted 
assistants
and what not, she wouldn't have made it. The whole holding your 
hands out
and being lost in your own home, and the way they described her 
searching
for the right knife is just 	not right. I mean, you don't see many
articles saying, oh look, Emerald peered closely at his knifes, being
careful not to touch the blade unless he cut himself. Just my thoughts.

move around
(helpless, lost, hands out in front of them, etc). That's 
pretty southward
to me. I doubt that's how Martinez wanted to be portrayed. 
While the article
doesn't minimize her accomplishments, it's definitely a juxtiposition
between her real capability and what people really think 
blindness is all
about. Did you also happen to notice the whole Helen Keller theme where
Martinez was sort of brought into the world by an ever-patient sighted
mentor? Hmmmm. I can understand why Andy feels angry.
