[nabs-l] [napub] Free UEB Transition Course

Tue Dec 9 19:46:34 UTC 2014

Hello Mr. Carlton, how are you? I'm interested in taking the Free Hadley course next year. I'm actually a 22 years old blind  college student who knows braille very well. I only know how to read grade two Braille, and a little bit of grade one Braille. However, I just wanted to tell you that next year in January, I'm going to be busy with college classes, so I'm not going to be able to register to the Hadley UEB class that semester. In fact,  would it be possible for me to take the Hadley UEB class on May of 2015, and finish it on Beginning of August since I'm going to be starting school agin? I'm just wondering. If you would like to reach me , feel free to do so. My contact information is located below in my email signature. Thank you  so much for all your time and have a nice day. God bless! 

P.S. I forgot to mention to you that I'm already an student at Hadley since I took one of Hadley's class before. Thanks again.
