Hi Blog world,
Greetings from the local university! The last three days have been amazing. After getting moved in I went for many walks and I have many snacks. That night I went to the local shopping event, and I got some extra food and some more water. On Thursday, I helped my best friend move into her dorm and I got to play with her dog. On Friday, I got my textbooks and I started scanning them, into my computer so I could read them on my reading program. You would think that in this world of digital world of learners and readers the blind population would have more access to textbooks and other reading material, however, we don’t and having to scan your textbooks are very tiring, but like my best friend says, What choice do we have? I just hope that the digital world makes things easier for us soon.
Tonight I went to a cookout and a slide-It was fun. I have the coolest people in my dorm hall, they really are helpful and I appreciate their help.
Blog soon,
Amanda Gene
I’m hoping in 2022, this is no longer as much of an issue
Times have certainly changed since then. I still struggle to get access to books.
