Subject: [Ohio-talk] Convention and thank you

Hi all,

This convention was fantastic, and although it was only my second I already
feel like I've known and loved my Federation Family for years.
I told members of the scholarship committee that mentoring has been the most
important thing I've taken away from last week, and it really has-I've
learned so much from fellow students to leaders in the affiliate and around
the country.  I've been so impacted by members of this affiliate and loved
being in convention assembled with you all.

I was only able to sit with Ohio for the opening ceremonies on Wednesday and
part of the afternoon on Friday, but I am thankful that I had a chance to do
that even if I didn't get to talk to many in the delegation.  Just being
with my state for a bit thanks to Cathy Jackson and Jim Barber who let me do
that, was really cool and something I was happy to be able to do.

I'll share a simile that I almost used in my speech to NABS on Monday night.
Some students have heard it already, but I think it's cute and accurate.
"Forest Gump said life is like a box of chocolates, but the NFB is also like
a box of chocolates.  It's very satisfying, but you can easily find yourself
going back for more."

Let's go build the Federation!
