"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan

Does your aide still follow you around? If so, that needs to 
stop.  By the
time that I was in high school, I only saw my aide at the 
beginning of the
day and the end of the day.  The next time that someone tells you 
not to read
the Braille on a door, tell them not to read the print on it.

 Hi,
 I am doing a pretty good job navigating my high-school campus.  
I hardly
 ever get lost, but I used to more often when I began.
 I had a question: is it a big deal when you get lost, but find 
your way
 COMPLETELY on your own?
 I'm emphasizing this because my aide used to always get mad at 
me when I
 got lost, even if I found my way using my skills.  One time he 
got upset
 because I was checking a room number on a door, but I needed to 
know what
 the room number was in order to get where I was going.  He 
treats getting
 lost and finding my own way just as badly as getting lost and 
needing lots
 of help.  Is this right?
 Vejas
