[nabs-l] The Importance Of Independent Travel

[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Students,

I'd like to discuss another topic with all of you.  On Monday I 
had a conversation with my mobility instructor during my training 
session at UCF.  We were talking about the importance of 
traveling independently as blind individuals.  I got very 
emotional while we were having this conversation and began to 
cry.  Because I've never traveled independently in the community, 
I lack the experience of traveling on my own.  Can each of you 
tell me your stories about inarependent travel? Hope to hear from 
you soon.
