Welcome Alexis,
   My name is Marilyn Lutter.  I  am a  retired social worker from 
Washington DC
my computer skills leave something to be desired.  Too bad you don't live in 
Washington.

My name is Alexis, and I am an adaptive technology instructor at an agency 
for the blind in Rochester, New York.  I have been working at this agency 
for 15 months having completed the majority of my course requirements for 
grad school.  The grad school issue is a whole other post in itself.  I 
tried to complete coursework leading to a masters in vision rehabilitation 
therapy, but things happened to derail that plan, things I won’t get into 
here.

For the most part, I enjoy my work.  I love coming up with creative ways to 
teach my students computer skills and concepts.  Many of my students tell me 
that they feel more at ease with me as their teacher because I don’t rush 
them, nor do I show signs of impatience.  This makes me feel good because 
sometimes, impatience is something I struggle with in a teaching situation.

When I’m not working and the weather is nice, I like taking walks with my 
Seeing Eye dog, Julia.  She is a 5 year old Lab/golden cross.  We’ve been a 
team now for 3 years.  It will be 4 years this coming September.

I look forward to participating on this list.

Regards,
Alexis Read
