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.
