[Blindtlk] Independent Living Skills

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
The more independent living skills you learn, and the sooner possible, the
better. You don't know if, in the future, you will be living alone or not,
so the more, the better. Once you have a job or other means of income, you
can always hire some of the chores out. But it is still good to learn them
all yourself so that you can make  better decisions for yourself, or help
someone out when they are ill or recovering from surgery etc. Your rehab
agency should be able to help you learn the skills. 
Thanks
Lauren

Dear Members,

I have been discussing this topic on several other nfb lists this week and
I'd like to discuss it here as well.  For the past few weeks I have been
thinking about independent living skills.  As a college student I feel that
I need to imrove these skills before I decide to live on my own.  For the
past several years my mom and old sisters have helped me to complete certain
tasks.  Two weeks ago my dad and I walked into Subway on the UCF campus so I
could have some lunch before heading offer to take an exam.  I independently
ordered my own sandwich and told the person behind the counter what I wanted
on it.  I'd like to hear your independ"t living skills stories.  Hope to
hear from you soon.
