[Blindtlk] Making a Difference, (Cont.): Bringing the right attitude out

[Mark Tardif]

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but for some reason this doesn't sound 
like a very good way to make a friend, I'm not understanding something. 
Unless I was carrying grocery bags after shopping, I would never uproot 
someone from near the door of the bus, regardless of the situation.  My legs 
will carry me, and if there is standing room only on the bus and nobody 
offers me a seat, so be it.  I'm not going to get into a confrontation 
because I'm blind and someone is sitting in an area that we think is 
reserved for disabled people.  I will go to the back, or, like I said, if 
there are no available seats and nobody offers me a seat, I will stand like 
anyone else.  Maybe I sound too independent and proud, but that's part of 
who I am.  Sorry to sound so harsh, but that's how I see it.

I made a difference by trying to make a friend.  I reminded her that she
would want the same forbsomeone else.  When you're in a disabled area, and
you're not disabled, you have an option to move.
