[nabs-l] Freshman year

[Beth]

Katie,
Hi, my name is Beth.  I did not graduate college yet, but I'm 
going back in a major of women's studies.  I had bad experiences 
in high school as well.  You are welcome to write me off list if 
you need something or whautever it is you want to talk about.  
Whuaft college are you going to?  My old university recently had 
to settle a lawsuit with a friend of mine or two over its math 
department inaccessibility.  So I'd be careful whaut college you 
are going on to.  As for approaching the subject of someone who 
can see learning about your blindness, I'd put a little humor in 
it.  I'm not sure, but first, I'd write down whaut you want to 
say, read that out loud to yourself, and then decide for yourself 
whether you want to say it or not.  Sometimes a littel humor gets 
people disarmed much quicker than just saying, "I'm blind.  I 
can't see.  I have to be accommodated." etc.
Beth

Subject: [nabs-l] Freshman year

Hi my name is Katie and I am going to be a freshman in college 
this fall. I was wondering how other people handled telling 
others they couldn't see. In high school I had a bad experience 
and don't want it to happen again. Any advice would be helpful.
THANKS
