[nabs-l] a question about getting lost

[frandi.galindo at gmail.com]

It is perfectly ok to find your own way if you get lost.  It’s a good way to 
learn an area, school, or a campus.  And for your aid to act like its wrong 
, to do that isn't right.  How does he expect you to learn your way around? 
and as for reading the braille on a sign, go for it.  you have to do what 
must be done in order to learn what you need to learn.  especially when it 
comes to learning a school.
Ask your O M instructor what he or she thinks.  I'm sure he will tell you 
the same.  Also have the O M instructor talk to that aid of yours.

Why does someone have to watch where you are going? I never had anyone 
following me around or wondering where I'm going…!
