[Blindtlk] An update on my Independence

[S L Johnson]

Hurray for you.  Why is this a big deal?  Millions of blind people do these 
things every day.  In 1973 just months after loosing my sight I had taught 
myself Braille, was traveling independently, graduating from high school and 
setting out as featured soloist on an all American Youth concert choir tour 
to six European countries.  I became blind, picked myself up with no help 
and began living an independent life.  So, as I said, what's the big deal?

Dear Blindtlk Members,

I would like to give you an update on my independence.  This week
I ordered and paid for my own food at the Chick Fil A on the UCF
campus.  I used my student ID card to pay for my lunch.  I also
walked from the parking lot to the library and found the couch
that I uiually sit on.  These are small steps toward improving my
independence.
