[nabs-l] Why Did I Join Nabs?

[Amy Sabo]

hello darron and all,

thanks for posting this topic to the list... why i joined nabs was back in 2000 when i began my college career which was a long time ago. i didn't know any blind students in my state or in this country so i emailed the president of the student division and, then i attened my first nabs conference in 2000 where i met many and many blind students across this nation. i also had a hand in beginning a student division in my home state of michigan as well too!

after i joined nabs i joineed the listserv where i have mmet many friends and also made many personal relationships too! i have gotten advice from you all and, also have given advice and put my two cents worth where it needs to be and not to be... i also began on reading the student slate back issues and all the recent issues too and, i have trried to contribute stories as well too for publication but, have no success in them. i have also helped at national convention for nabs for it's seminars as a marshall nad did whatever needed to be done for the division.

so, that's why i joined nabs have stayted here for the long run! thanks again and, i will talk to you all soon!


hugs,
amy

Hey all,
   I am just wondering, what made you  want to be a part of  nabs?
Yes,  This is  a large Division, made of a network of divisions and
more  to the point lots of us students.  So what made you want to be
involved with nabs? This could be  anything from why do you post
messages on the list? why you go to conference calls? meetings at
Washington Seminar or National Convention?  Or...Why do you contribute
to the student slate,  read the student slate, are a part of your
state division.
If I didn't cover it all then feel free to point out what I missed.
  Thanks!
  Darian

p.s. I am seriously curious :)
