[nabs-l] introducing Myself

[Rylie Robinson]

hello Brandon,

Secondary English Education just means middle school/high school
english (Secondary School as opposed to Primary School.) I was going
to simply major in English, but if I am to teach blind students
(braille specifically,) I figured getting some of the education out of
the way would work out better in the long-run. Braille is what I would
like to specialize in, but any TVI work could potentially be what I'm
looking for. What I teach isn't what I'm particular about, but where.
I would really like to work in a public school setting; I believe this
is where a lot of the advocacy work would have to be done, and it's
one of the best places to lay a foundation of high expectations, both
the the blind students and to their sighted parents and educators.

It's wonderful to see other blind musicians; I'll definitely have to
check out those other mailing lists.

Thanks a lot for the welcome, and i look forward to getting to know you better.

Blessings,
Rylie
