[Mn-abs] Freedom for the Blind

[Kelby Carlson]

What you say makes complete sense, and it's also similar to what 
my mobility instructor has already told me I will likely need to 
do in an unfamiliar environment.  He's not against using a 
mobility instructor, but I'm sure he wouldn't be against me 
learning an environment on my own.  But I feel I have the 
skill-set necessary, because of the training I have already 
received.  This does not mean I am at my full potential, because 
in some cases I have not had the chance to practice these skills.  
It may turn out that a training center would be necessary for me.  
But in the long-term view of my life, I would rather obtain a 
college degree and then attend a center if necessary.  College 
will give me a chance to test myself and to evaluate my own 
strengths and weaknesses, and to become more cognisant of where I 
am in my journey.
