[nabs-l] An Article about another Student at Myy College

[Josh Gregory]

Um...  maybe Cause your mind is more relaxed? You don't have to 
think about much so you can think more clearly? IDK.  Just my 
late-night thoughts...

Lol, yes.  Why is it that everything comes to you when you are in 
bed?

 Yeah, I'd say so.  But I was thinking a while ago and realized 
that there
 are loads of cases where training is required in order to 
function, not
 just blindness.  I can't remember what specific examples I 
thought of at
 the time, but I'm sure they'll hit me at some God-forsaken hour 
of the
 night.

 Respectfully,

 Jedi,
   Maybe it'll makemore sense if I say it this way.  I wasn't 
refering
 to a person's intrinsic value.  I should've said we can't 
compete on
 an equal level by default.  I'm going to invert a statement 
you've
 heard a billion times.  Without propper training and 
opportunity,
 blindness is a great deal more than a mere nuisence, and is, in 
fact,
 a very significant limitation.  Would you agree?
   Best regards,
 Kirt

 I think I know him too.  We got our guide dogs at the same time 
back in
 2004.
 I remember Matt really loved baseball at the time, and he was 
always
 playing
 outside with his dad.  I couldn't really speak English at the 
time and we
 were very young, so I don't think we got to talk much.  
Actually, when
 they
 were matching dogs with owners he got assigned my current guide 
dog, but
 Matt walked too slow for the dog, or maybe it was the dog 
walking too
 fast
 :).  But the fact is that I ended up with that dog, which is 
still
 working
 wonderfully! I was always walking a little faster than the dog 
they
 assigned
 me at first, so it worked out very well.  I guess that's the 
advantage of
 instructors having a huge pool of trained dogs to choose from 
for each
 person.

 I believe Matt Cooper participated in Youth Slam 2007.  I met 
him and
 was
 quite impressed with him just because he was a down-to-earth 
kind of
 guy
 who didn't toot his own horn to much.  He was an all-around good 
kid.

 I really liked the title the school gives to its DSS office.  It 
makes
 so
 much sense and isn't euphemistic at all.  "Office for Accessible
 Education." I think I might suggest that to my school.

 Respectfully,
 Jedi
