[nabs-l] Re- The Nfb timeraining Centers

[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Students,

I'd like to post my thoughts about the Nfb training centers.  I 
think that each of these centers do a great job of preparing 
their students for college and the working world.  As a college 
student I think that attending a training center allows us to 
enhance the skills that we have received prior to attending one 
of the Nfb training centers.  When I was in elementary school, my 
mom and I spent a weekend at the Rehab Center for the Blind and 
Visually impaired in Daytona Beach, Florida.  During this event I 
learned how to prepare sandwiches for lunch.  Since then my 
independence has decreased and my mom and sisters have continued 
to help me with certain tasks.  A few years ago I began to heat 
my own food in the microwave for lunch.
