[nabs-l] reflecting on the attacks

[Ashley Bramlett]

Thanks Josh,
I think we should take time to reflect on the tragedy and also be active. 
Vote for whom you believe will
make our country safe and secure. You're right that safety and security is 
an issue as we students head back to campus. Actually, I'm not a student 
this semester, but will go back for continuing education next semester at 
nova, community college.

I'd suggest you get aquainted with your school's safety/police office if you 
haven't already; know where it is, know what their number is, and
meet an officer or two. Some schools like mine, marymount university, just 
had security officers.
Know how to reach them as well. If you feel unsafe, walk with friends back 
to your dorm or call a security escort. Many schools offer such a service.
At least at MU, after 12 midnight, you had to show an ID to enter the dorm; 
this is a good thing. And also lock your dorm room, especially at night.
If there is a threat or natural disaster, I'd leave fast. Go to a friend's 
home, family if they're in the area, or a hotel. Just go somewhere safe.
Safety is a big priority.

Okay, that's my tips for now.

Great post!
This has everything to do, with this list, because many blind
students, are probably heading back to college, after being on
vacation.
This security issue is important.
May God bless America.
Blessings, Joshua
