I've been at the Washington State department of Blind services Orientation and Training Center (OTC) for 2 months. I'm currently on break. Personally, I don't think they know how to deal with anyone who is above the level of working at lighthouse International or some other kind of workshop environment. I also feel that some members of the staff don't seem to get the fact that maybe just maybe some students don't like cooking what she calls "American" food. In other words, I feel stifled I feel like I have to pretend i'm someone I'm not just so I can go on to college.
