[NABS-L] Introduction

[Sidney Horn]

Hello!
My name is Sidney. I'm 19 years old and am taking my second year of college classes. I'm at the school for the blind, but am leaving in May of 2025. I have taken some Lincoln Land Community College classes to get me in the swing of things.
I'd like to major in social work, and I'm starting at SIUE (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) in the fall of 2025. I was very back and forth for the longest time at where I wanted to go. It was between Illinois State and SIUE. I knew both universities are great, and I toured both of their access offices as well.
On top of that, back in September, I applied for a Seeing Eye registered dog and have had my juno walk and interview with one of their instructors. Now I'm just waiting to hear when or if I'll get accepted, which I hope I do. :-)
I will go out in the summer of 2025. I will keep you all updated on how everything is going.
So far I have taken Communications 101, English 101, Psychology 101, and Sociology 101. I am registered for three online classes in Spring semester and 1 in-person class.
I am very happy to be a part of this community of Illinois blind students and to be able to share each others successes / concerns. That's what we're all here for. :-)
Thanks for reading!
Sidney
