A Blind Friend Cleared My Vision


--by guin, posted Mar 24, 2007
I recently acted as a scribe for blind students, writing during an examination, in one of the less privileged areas.

It was a great experience interacting with my blind friend because I got to learn a lot about my life!

She was happy to have a friendly hand to hold and talk to rather than just a mechanical interaction before and after the exam.  And while I was feeling sad before hand, speaking to my blind friend cleared up my vision too.

Funny, how that works.

Yeah, it is funny isn't it?, I believe not only does helping others make us feel good inside, but that it actually makes us see anwers for ourselfs, too.
