INSTRUCTION: Create a WIKI page INDIVIDUALLY that explains your feelings before, during, and after the activity/task.

The Task at hand:
 * Be blind folded for and hour/day.

My feelings: Before
 * Before I satarted this assingment I wasnt really scared or nervous or anything like that. To be honest I mostly just wanted to get it done with. I tought it would simply be an easy hour of my life. I decided I would be blind folded an hour before school. Which meant I had to get ready blind, I still did not think this was going to be a problem.

During
 * This is when the real fun begins. I did not think to get ready before I put my blind fold on. So I got up and started feeling around for my clothing. I could not even tell you what shirt or pants I was holding. So I felt my way down the stairs to where my friend was waiting for me. By this point I was getting mad and wanted to take my blind fold off. I mad her come up stairs and find the clothing I was looking for. By this point I had already given up on trying to find anything and asked her to find me my tooth brush. Lucky I know my way around the house that it was easy enough to get around my house. I decided I wanted to try and make my bed, I think I gave up with in then first few mins. After all that it had only been about 15 mins.. which meant I still had 45 like this. She sat down to watch tv. I decided I would just listen and then just imagain the rest. Which I know no is very very hard!! For the last 15 minutes of me being blind, I walked to school. Of course I had my friend find my coat and shoes. I started to walk by myself, soon realizing I was going to get hit by a car if I cointinuded. So once again my friend had to help. Once I got into the school, I felt so scared. I didnt know what door I had come in. I didnt know who was around. I didnt know if therr were any stairs. I felt very lost, even though I was still on my friends arm.

After
 * After being blind for one hour I feel very relieved that it is over, but at the same time I am realizing some people do it everyday of their lives. Everytime they go some where new, they must feel the fear and anxity. In places that you are used to it would be easy to get used to finding your way around. And with practice you can eventually find your clothing and everything. But going into new places I cant imgain it gets any better. When I walked into the school I honestly was scared for my life. I dont even want to think about what it would be like to do it everyday. After doing this I feel like I am really going to aphecate people who are blind alot more. Not that I can even begin to understand what it is they are going threw. But I would like to think that I know no slightly what it is, at least enough to really respect them! Individuals that are blind are really storng people. Everything that we take for granted they work for each and every day!!
