 Student
with visual impairment
Age:
21
College
or University:
I came from Hereford College for the Blind to
Pontypridd College. I鈥檓 studying RSA Word and
Text Processing, RSA Spelling Skills, AEB Achievement
Tests in Literacy and Numeracy and IT.
My
aim, ideally, is to work in radio broadcasting.
Having talked to my social worker, I鈥檓 considering
office work within a radio environment.
The
course:
I鈥檝e been here for two years, and will be here
for a further year. I started doing a Creative
Arts course in Hereford, but the course I鈥檓
on now has opened up options for me. I鈥檓 now
studying Modern Office Technology, and a course
from the School of Vocational Access, a sensory
course for students with a visual impairment.
The
best thing:
I really enjoy IT, and I really enjoy the fact
that I can do creative writing. We have very
good teachers here who give you a lot of choice.
What鈥檚 very important is that this course gives
you time to do things. You鈥檙e not rushed.
The
worst thing:
I don鈥檛 mind getting up in the morning.. and
that鈥檚 what generally people think is the worst!
Useful
info:
Give it your best, and don鈥檛 worry about anything.
Also, remember you鈥檝e got to do the slog to
get the good things as well. Accept all new
challenges positively, and don鈥檛 worry about
doing it all straight away.
