[nabs-l] Experiences at LCB Brianna McDowell

[Lakeria Taylor]

Hello,

Im currently at LCB. I came here after a few years in school and it has been the best decision ive made. Ruston is a fairly small town, so that wouldn't be much of an adjustment for you, and the students here right now are pretty decent people. If you have any particular questions about anything, feel free to email me anytime and maybe I can give you my number so that we can connect.

All the classes are tailored to each person's individual needs.  Wood shop has a set program, and you need to pass all the levels of Typeability in computer class, but besides that typically everything is at your own pace.  There are quite a few restaurants.  My favorite was a burger place called Cheeburger Cheeburger.  Also, students walk to school once the OANDM instructor clears them to do so.

I've decided to go ahead and start independence training at the Louisiana Center For the Blind.  I'd like to know what experiences those of you who went had.  What can I expect t? Also, I guess I'm a bit nervous because I'll be far away from home in an unfamiliar city.  I'm from a small town in Georgia, and i've lost some of the orientation and mobility skills I learned in school.
