[NFB-Conventions] Internet at convention died and YouTube didn’t record the most important information for state affiliate presidents that was in Aneal’s panel with the students!!!

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi all! 
I have to put on my ORABS presidents hat for a bit. During the panel of students, right as the lady student was sharing her experience with the national Association of Blind Students, the YouTube feed compleetly died because according to the YouTube chat, the internet at the convention died for two whole minutes. During this time, YouTube didn’t record any of that part of the conversation. Since I’m the president of ORABS, that part also happened to be the most important part of the conversation because it included the problem that she was sharing with the whole national convention. Clearly, it was shared so that leaders across the country can take the problems back to their affiliates so we can also learn from them and discover ways to avoid them. Can anyone please share what was said between 2 hours 32 minutes, the part where the lady was talking about her national experience, where she mentioned her national scholarship win and 2 hours and 33 minutes, Aniel’s next question? I missed that whole entire part, due to the internet feed kicking the bucket. I believe that this bit  also included the problem in question that all leaders who are here virtually totally missed. I’m not going to try to spell the lady’s name because I’m pretty sure that I’ll kill the name instead of spelling it correctly. If anyone can rsvp to this question, I’d greatly appriciate this!!! I look forward to hearing back from you soon on this matter!!!
