Yo acabo de regresar de mi primera convención de la Federación Nacional 
de Ciegos hace dos días. Todavía tengo alta la adrenalina. Habían 
alrededor de

3000 personas de todas las formas, colores, tamaños, religiones, 
historiales educativos, orientaciones sexuales, edades, videntes, 
totalmente ciegos, de baja visión, diversos

grados de sordera, y así sucesivamente. Había gente de diferentes 
países. Habían super atletas y aquellos que nunca han hecho ejercisios. 
Habían

personas con sillas de ruedas, bastones, perros lazarillos, y asistentes 
personales. Se ha convertido en evidente para mí que la homogeneidad 
entre las diferentes personas es

que todos nosotros estamos buscando la independencia.

El primer día tuvimos un puesto en la Feria de la Salud que se lleva a 
cabo el día antes de que la convención comience. la gente pasó por 
nuestro puesto para saber qué

opciones existen y luego se movieron al siguiente puesto. Al principio 
estaba preocupada, pero una persona de mayor experiencia me dijo que no 
me preocupara. La estrategia es

correr a la sala de exhibición, y luego volver a lo que es más 
interesante. Se sentía como un montón de niños corriendo a través de una 
gran tienda de juguetes.

En primer lugar, me sentí abrumada por tanta gente que me hacía 
preguntas al mismo tiempo. Me gusta conectar con cada persona como 
individuo, así que me sentí como

si estuviera siendo descortés a la gente cuando no pude darles tanto 
tiempo como quería. Aprendí bastante rápidamente que la mejor manera era 
reunir a un grupo a

mi alrededor y hablar con todos ellos al mismo tiempo. Las preguntas 
fueron generalmente las mismas. "¿Qué es lo que tienen en esta mesa?" 
"¿Qué tipo de entrenamiento es el mejor para mí?", "¿Cómo

puedo tocar los entrenamientos?" Me puse muy bueno en hablar y ayudar a 
la gente a averiguar qué querían saber rápidamente. Tenía que confiar en 
que volverían

cuando aprendieron todas las opciones que la gigante sala tenía para ellos.

Por supuesto, hice una vuelta alrededor de la sala por mí misma. Las 
opciones de independencia han recorrido un largo camino en sólo unos 
años. Ordenadores, pantallas Braille,

gafas inteligentes, accesorios para perros, bastones telescópicos, y la 
lista continúa. Es verdaderamente una vertiginosa sensación saber que la 
innovación avanza tan rápido.

Ya para los últimos tres días, la mayoría de la gente había visto todo y 
comenzaron lo que parecía ser una estampida de vuelta a nuestra mesa. Yo 
estaba tan emocionada. Mi marido Stu me ayudaba

junto con Peggy Fleischer y Wayne King. La señorita Jingles se sentía 
contenta en su caja masticando su hueso favorito. Cuando necesitaba un 
descanso, fui a

darle un frote por lo que había podido calmarme. Estoy muy agradecida 
por su ayuda.

Ahora que estoy en casa, puedo mirar atrás y sentirme complacida de que 
BlindAlive contribuyó de manera única a la amplia gama de opciones. Mi 
mayor deseo es dar a todos los

diferentes tipos de personas opciones para ponersen en forma. Si las 
opciones existen, más gente puede ser más de aquello que desean ser.

I just returned home from my first National Federation of the Blind 
Convention two days ago. I am still high from the adrenaline rush. There 
were about 3000 people there of all shapes, colors, sizes, faiths, 
educational backgrounds, sexual orientations, ages, sighted, totally 
blind, low vision, varying degrees of deafness, and on and on. There 
were people from different countries. There were super athletes and 
those who have never exercised. There were people with wheel chairs, 
canes, guide dogs, and personal assistants. It has become clear to me 
that the commonality among all the different people is that all of us 
are seeking independence.

The first day we had a booth at The Healthy Fair which is held the day 
before the actual convention begins. people stopped by our booth to find 
out what choices there were and then they moved to the next booth. At 
first, I was concerned but a more experienced person told me not to 
worry. The strategy is to run through the exhibit hall and then go back 
to what is most interesting. It felt like a whole lot of kids running 
through a huge toy store.

At first, I felt overwhelmed by so many people asking me questions at 
the same time. I like to connect with each person as an individual so I 
felt like I was being impolite to people when I couldn’t give them as 
much time as I wanted. I learned fairly quickly that the best way was to 
gather a group around me and speak to all of them at the same time. The 
questions were usually the same. “What do you have at this table?” “What 
workout is best for me?” “How do I play the workouts?” I became very 
good at talking and helping people find out what they wanted to know 
quickly. I had to trust that they would come back when they learned all 
the choices the giant hall held for them.

Of course, I took a spin around the hall myself. The choices for 
independence have come such a long way in just a few years. Computers, 
braille displays, smart glasses, dog accessories, telescoping canes, and 
the list goes on and on. It is truly a giddy feeling to know that 
innovation is moving so fast.

By the last three days, most people had seen it all and they began what 
felt like a stampede back to our table. I was so thrilled. My husband 
Stu was helping along with Peggy Fleischer and Wayne King. Miss Jingles 
stayed contentedly in her crate chewing on her favorite bone. When I 
needed a break, I went to give her a rub so I could calm down. I am so 
grateful for their help.

Now that I am home, I look back and feel gratified that BlindAlive 
contributed uniquely to the vast array of choices. My biggest desire is 
to give all different types of people fitness choices. If choices exist, 
more people can become more of who they want to be.
