Hello all,

My name is Tessa Urban. I have joined this list specifically to inquire
about the Houston's Lighthouse of the blind distance education program. I am
considering to try and in role into the medical transcriptionist class. I
have already posted this to the Texas nfb student's list to see if anyone
else in the state is part of the course. 

Is anyone in this program? If so, what are or have been your experiences?
Are you doing the program online or at the lighthouse? If you have completed
the program, are you working? Was the staff helpful? How was the enrolling
process for you? What if you had an unplanned emergency and couldn't
complete something; what happened with the teacher and your class? What if
you've never done online schooling before? How did the testing and exams go?
Did you have to follow their time schedule exactly? I do realize these are a
lot of questions however I do try to be thorough.

A bit about me: I live in the state of Florida. I'm 31, have a guide dog and
have always had a love for anything medical related. I'm a licensed massage
therapist in the state of Florida. I use Jaws as a screen reading software.
I tried doing Hadley school online taking a Bible class, however I couldn't
finish it. The class was more difficult than I realized, everything was done
from the book and getting questions answered was hard to do. I also felt
that the expectations of the instructor were not clear enough when it came
to exams.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions, please let me know. I thank you
for your time.

God bless, Tessa
