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

[Cherylandmaxx]

We are supposed to show equality and independence. Just like i say at the airport that i don't need a wheelchair since there is nothing wrong with my legs i do not make someone that is in a seat on the bus.  That is not showing independence

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.
