[nabs-l] AIM High?

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi all! 
When I attended the Oregon School for the Blind, we had a blind student in my transition class who dropped out. They just stopped going to class one day. I don't know much about why the drop out but that's what happened. No, I'm not that student!!! 


 
Blessed be!!!
