Have you heard of Hadley?  they are a correspondence school for blind 
people.  they have courses in all sorts of things from basic high school 
education to cooking to playing chess.  It's all free and available in 
various formats including email, Braille and audio.  It might be 
something to look into if education is important to you.

I think you've spent all your life listening to what everyone else has 
told you to do and along the way you have forgotten about what's 
important to Sarah.  Is living in your own place important to you?  what 
about getting a job?  Having a family of your own?  Going to college?  
None of these things happens overnight and they are all a load of work. 
They aren't going to fall on your head or be given to you by others.  
You have to work for what you want and then work some more.

If roller coasters are your passion, then pursue that by all means.  
Maybe you get a job to pay the bills and travel on the weekends to 
amusement parks all across the country.  Maybe you start a web based 
business about the history of roller coasters with affiliate links to 
places where you can buy tickets.  Maybe you could write a book about 
the history of roller coasters and sell it through the Kindle store.  
Maybe you could get a college engineering degree and help design roller 
coasters.  Or hey you could get a job at an amusement park that offers 
the employees free park passes.  There are options, lots and lots of 
options if you're willing to put in the work.

And to keep this on topic, getting a dog is just like everything above.  
It gives you options, but it's hard work.
