Brenda,

You are proof that we can take our own lives into our own hands and make
what we will of it. So many of us give up out of frustration, or at
times laziness, and just grow overwhelmed with the process, but you have
decided to learn what you can with what resources are available. Lack of
professional training, lack of services for the blind, lack of immediate
connections, no matter what, you seem ready to push through and
persevere no matter what. You may be daunted and frustrated, but you
refuse to become stagnet and instead move forward doing what you can,
when you can. I think this spirit is to be commended, and more of us
should follow your example. You are taking steps to learn Braille
because you recognize it as a superior means to accessing written
material. Many of us would take the easy route and just continue to rely
on audio, stunting our literacy. In a society refusing to give us all
the benefits of nonvisual instruction in timely and efficient ways, you
say, oh well, I'll learn what I can on my own. Congrats to you my
friend, smile!

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Hi Robert
I appreciate your explanation of reading audio versus Braille.  I never 
thought I would read Braille with all the audio out there but after 
taking a creative writing course and then from stuff I've gathered on 
this list, I have started the process of learning braille and look 
forward to when I can read proficiently.
Brenda
