[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Why did the school even accept you knowing what your area is like???  People 
do sidewalkless travel all the time.  Is it really unsafe or is the school 
being paternaistic in that they doubt your abilities to function as a blind 
person?  Makes no sense to me.
