    Here is my story:

    I have never used a computer before May 16, 2000.  I met with Betsey every week on Tuesday to learn computer skills and about the computer.  She has taught me all the basics (the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse, the Internet, email, discussion board,...).

    Several years ago, I had a brain injury due to a motor vehicle accident. It was very serious. I am still improving from the injuries that occurred.

    I am excited about learning new things.  I now attend the YMCA 3 times a week to do water aerobics.  Sometimes I go to the library to volunteer with the children's reading program.  I attend the Senior Center one time per week for Bible study.  I am working on a journal in my spare time.  I am also working on folders to organize my papers and bills.  I am active in my church.  I attend Sunday School, worship service, prayer meeting and sing in the gospel chorus.
     

    Things that I have learned to do on my own:

  • Keeping a daily planner.
  • Take notes of things I need to do that day.
  • Take care of my own bills.
  • Attend doctor's appointments.
  • Use public transportation.
  • Cook, clean, wash.
  • Attend computer classes and bible classes.
  • Attend prayer meetings weekly.
  • Can foods: string beans, squash, pickled beets.
  • Freeze vegetables.
