[nabs-l] Back-to-school Preparation

[Sophie Trist]

To prepare for returning to school, I faithfully read all my 
summer reading books. Also, my teachers often send me a list of 
textbooks and, in the case of my English teacher, reading books 
that we'll be using throughout the year. I download all of these 
from Bookshare if possible over the summer. I've heard of people 
meeting with their teachers in the summer, but I just wing it. I 
introduce myself on the firt day of school, and over the next 
couple of weeks, I gradually explain how they can help me be 
successful in their class. I prefer not to do all this explaining 
in one sitting so as not to overwhelm them with new information. 
Usually, teachers are a bit nervous about teaching The Blind 
Girl, but (I'm not trying to brag here) I do pretty well 
academically and have a mostly easygoing personality, so they get 
comfortable around me within the first two or three weeks.

Dear Students,

I know that we are still on Summer vacation, preparing to travel
to convention, and taking Summer classes, but I decided to post
this anyway.  I am writing an article for Future Reflections
about back-to-school preparation.  How do each of you prepare to
go back to school? Look forward to reading your thoughts on this
topic.
