[nabs-l] Experiences at LCB Brianna McDowell

[Rex Schuttler]

Hello, I am a recent graduate of the Louisiana training center. And I'm also a counselor in their summer step program for high school students. And I just now completed my first college semester. Without the Lcb and their instructors I would not be where I'm at right now. Yes they will push you beyond your boundaries but it will be worth it in the long run.

You will be in an apartment and they'll help you with your first shopping excursion and get you situated. You have your Braille, tech, home management, and travel classes along with woodshop. I enjoyed being in the play the center puts on every year at convention and the extra trips outside of class were a lot of fun. Just try to steer clear of the drama and it will be a great experience. Mine was great but had issues, but I blame the fact that I was 19 and very naive so found myself mixing with the wrong people.

>> Hi everyone, my name is Brianna McDowell. I'm a blind college student from Georgia. I've just recently graduated from college with my associates degree in social work. 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.
>> Look forward to hearing from you Guys soon
