When I went to the NFB’s headquarters I listened to a press conference on the crisis of poor Braille instruction in the Baltimore City school system. I am proud of the actions that the NFB is taking by filing a formal complaint. This is one step to make sure that every blind or visually impaired student should and will learn Braille.
After the conference I went to see the remarkable technology exhibited in the NFB’s International Braille and Technology Center. Afterwards
We went to the talent show and it was pretty good — I can’t exactly tell you who was my favorite. All of them were.
The trip to the NFB National Center was a great experience and I can’t wait to see what else is in store.
My sports night went really well. I did judo, and considering that I’ve been doing that for maybe a year now, I had a lot of fun and thankfully didn’t have to do the INSANE exercise. I learned a new throw while I was there and it is easier than osoto. Our sensei was very good and helpful. I was disappointed when it ended. My partner was Jason; he’s pretty good if he gets into it. He could be a beast if he really tried. Luckily nobody broke his or her neck or arm or leg, whereas at my practice it’s almost a guarantee you will get hurt. So I had fun and I hope you guys had fun as well. Later on, fellow slammers.
