[Ohio-talk] I got a job!

[Sheri Albers]

Rachel,
You have been busy breaking down barriers of your own! Thank you for your
reassuring words. I can only tell you, and my fellow blind Federation family
about the fears that I have. We are the only ones that get it. But no one
else needs to know, right? I will put one foot in front of the other, and
take one day at a time, and do the best that I can.

Best Regards,
Sheri Albers, Vice President
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

triumphs. Your success makes me believe that I can do it too. Thank you for
your tenacity and for your courage. I know your cohorts and clients are

Hello Everybody,

In the seven and a half months since graduating from UC, I have had
bi-weekly meetings with my job developer, filled out countless online
applications and cover letters, and I have had only 7 interviews. I was
really beginning to get discouraged. Thanks to all of you who told me to
keep the faith, and hang in there! Yesterday, I had an interview for an AOD
Counselor position, and it seemed to go really well, as I thought the others
did, but this time, something different happened. I received a call with a
job offer, while on the way home in the car! Beginning December 18, I will
be working for Community Behavioral Health in Hamilton, OH.
