Alyssa ErvenTo my #Blind current and future jobseekers out there, please take the time to learn to use a computer. Especially if you are in school, resist the urge to just use your iPad or notetaker. Most workplaces require computer skills, preferably using Windows at least here in the U.S. Thank you for reading my unsolicited words of wisdom.
And to anyone who's curious, I was attached at the hip to my BrailleNote in high school. I swore it would need to be pried from my cold dead hands. Then the rest of life happened. I knew enough computer basics to survive, but have learned so much as an adult because I didn't take the time to do so as a student, even though my teachers pushed me to do just that.
@alyssa6595 So was I. It was a revelation to suddenly have braille at my fingertips, then email, then the whole internet. I loved my BrailleNotes dearly. I even learned to code on them, kickstarting my life as a programmer and proud geek. But the older I got, the more I realized they couldn't do, and the further behind I saw KeySoft was. I hate to think what would have happened had I settled and not learned Windows.
