[nabs-l] The import of Self-advocacy

[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Members,

As a blind college student I've had to advocate for myself 
without assistance from others.  Each semester I advocate for 
myself by sending out introduction emails to my professors before 
classes begin.  I think self advocacy is important because it 
allows us to become more independent as blind students.  I'd like 
to hear stories about how you've advocated for yourselves.
