Hi NFB  GDB Chapter members and DBS clients services,

I have been working hard at Daytona State College and learning much new
blind accessible technology and updating my legal knowledge  from my law
school studies 45 years ago. Everyday is a new adventure.

I have been involved in assisting other students, working on community
groups and organizing events. I also  make certain to swim laps in college
pool almost everyday to break up my long schedule.  

This past Thursday, April 11,2019, I received two awards: DSC Student
Engagement  Award and surprisingly received the DSC Hall of Fame Award for
Academic Excellence, school and community leadership , and citizenship
values in action. This Daytona State College Awards ceremony is accessible
and can be viewed on UTUBE, and after about 45 minutes shows Earline and me
walking up on stage to accept the awards from the college president.

I am grateful to DBS for financial support of my education to regain
competency for employment again in the legal field. I hope to take the
Florida Bar exam this year to regain my law license. I urge other blind
presently non-working NFB members to consider education and training on a
career pathway with the support of DBS. Robert Doyle, Director of the
Division of Blind Services,  has indicated his goal of placing blind DBS
clients on educational pathways to learn skills for substantial interesting
and better paying work. The Division of Blind Services can be persuaded to
provide help, but the motivation must come from inside each individual. One
of the purposes of the NFB is to assist in stimulating members in their
interest, and motivating our members to seek help, if needed. Our NFB group
will help motivated members with difficulties in obtaining necessary DBS
services. 

Peace and love,

Brian Norton
