Keenan Cole

For this new blog entry, I found something very interesting.  The life of Keenan cole and some real life experiences, the idea came from one of my former student when they mentionned life experiences.  Keenan Cole a young man aged of 17 years old who has been blind since birth tells us how he has lived up to now.  It all started when he became active in the National Federation of the Blind, where he met some older men and women, role models, and gave him more confidence in his approach in life.  One main idea he remembers was when he had a biology class and had a lab to do,  the teacher told him he wouldn't be capable of doing it.  He accepted her opinion but when he went back to the NFB told his peers about it, they all told him that he should have done the experiement and gave him tips.  It made him feel great because he knew he had people to count on.  This comitee which helps these blind people to share and help each other was founded in 1940.  This organization was first made to "achieve greater security, opportunity and equality."  The Federation now has over 50 000 members and this part of the article was made in 1986.
