Mickey's Turn


It’s been a while since we had class, but here’s the blog.  It was nice to see Billy doing so well in class.  He has really gotten so much better, and I think it has to do with trusting himself and not thinking quite so much.  Billy and I are a lot alike, in that we both think a bit too much when we get turned around.  I can’t speak for Billy, but I know that my thinking too much really causes me bigger problems.  When the drop off comes, I have got to keep moving and stop thinking so much.

Mickey was pretty entertaining to watch underblindfold.  He just approaches things differently than I do, so it was cool to see a different style.  Funny, though, how even someone as knowledgeable as Mickey could fall into the trap of walking tentatively and slowly.  I think watching Mickey was a good reminder to us that we need to refresh our skills periodically so we always remember how hard it is for blind people to travel.
