What you say is correct. I have heard about those training programs.
They are excellent. I wish I could have attended one of them when I was
younger. It makes all the difference.

Keep up the confidence. You can do anything you set your mind to.
Hope

.Thanks, Hope,
.I have all those skills and have attended blindness training at Blind
.Inc in Minneapolis.
.I am jst wondering if they'll consider me with no formal teaching
experience.
.I think I need to lean heavily on my skills of braille and alsothe
.idea that having a blind instructor would be a huge confidence booster
.for the students I'd be working with.  There's nothing like having
.someone that's already done what you want to do, teach you how.
