Wish list Adventure

I just figured out how to use the wish list features :-)  Doing research with this list ability is very, very helpful.  I hope this will help me and many others find and get what they need.

The Next Step INTEL READER & CAPTURE STATION

It's time for me to get ready for the next semester and the semesters that follow.  I am on a quest for help through grants, scholarships, or any other financial help I can find.  This will allow me to get the equipment I desperately must have to successfully complete my journey through computer and digital design classes.

The most important item right now is the 
                                           INTEL READER
                                           Intel® Reader

INTEL READER AND CAPTURE STATION.  These items will allow me to have access to my textbooks so I can read for myself (the best way for me to take notes and retain the information) the information available to everyone else.  Listening is great because I read very, very slowly, however the act of reading is what makes a huge difference for me to remember, take notes, and scan materials effectively.  The INTEL READER AND CAPTURE STAND will allow me to read, listen, and/or read and listen at the same time the information in my textbooks.  This is very, very huge for me and extremely important.  I must and will succeed. 
IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO READ LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! :-)
I really enjoy reading.  The Intel Reader will allow me to read for school and for many other reasons like:
1. instructions for how to use or make something
2. labels on pill bottles, cans, other items
3. reading books about topics that interest me and can help me
    accomplish my goals


4. being able to take a snap shot of menu's, books, magazines, other reading materials including signs and menus displayed like those in fast food restaurants and many other possibilities.


Unfortunately, this device and other technology is extremely expensive and way beyond the reach of most people who must have the technology which will make life safer and more productive.


Do you know of anyone who would be able to help me purchase this equipment?  Any information is greatly appreciated.  I am studying in college so that I may be able to help students realize their potential and reach their goals. 


If you or any group would be able to help please email or leave a comment on my blogger blog.  My contact e-mail is:
