January 7 - “Our Stories Matter” continues with a presentation by Ana Gschwend, a self-described "scrappy girl in a scrappy world". Ana has been part of the Bethel community for about 16 years. Ana’s story of living with blindness and overcoming numerous challenges, big and small, in a world designed primarily for the sighted, will be a welcome addition to the arc of stories that we have shared over the last year. Come hear her tell about her life’s joys, challenges and resilience, including throughout her time at Bethel. She is grateful to have many Bethelites, as she puts it, in her corner.
