[nabs-l] Independent Living Skills

[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Students,

I hope everyone had a wonderful time at this year's national 
convention.  I'd like to discuss the topic of independent living 
skills.  As students we are sometimes not expected to perform as 
people think we should.  Last week my dad and I went to Subway so 
I could get some lunch before my exam.  I independently ordered 
my own sandwich which was turkey with mustard American cheese and 
tomatoes on Italian bread.  In the past I have been heating up my 
own food in the microwave.  Why do you think learning independent 
living skills is important? Hope to hear from you soon.
