[nabs-l] The Next Few Years of My Life

[Shikha]

You don't have to go to training after high school 
I went to lcb because I wasn't ready for college. I did not take the sat or act i took the compass test at my community school. I went to lcb after graduating from high school 
My vision drastically decreased in high school. I have rp so i could be completely blind one day.  Try to figure out what you like to do so you can pick your major 
I transferred to georgia state university last fall.  I love helping people so i picked social work. Volunteering will help. It is good to plan ahead. It is your life so only you can know what you want.
I don't mind helping!
