1:06-1:14- “Very hard. I felt like walking 20ft was 2 miles. Try not to squeeze your arm as hard and just trust in her.”
1:15-1:34 “It was very difficult. It gives you a whole different perspective of how people that are blind um it’s a huge impairment. Like it said it gives you a different perspective of how they feel, how they eat, how they drink.”
1:35-1:49- “I think I got more frustrated than anything. I like to do things real fast and get them done not like taking my time and trying to feel around for things was hard for me. Um walking back I had to hold Courtney’s hand. I was scared, I about ran into the door.”

1:58-2:18- “My check writing skills aren’t very good so” Teacher: “would the bank accept it?” Student: “No. I just like wrote all over the whole thing. But walking was really hard, I just had to shuffle my feet and not take normal steps because I was scared and I don’t like the feeling of having to rely on somebody else.”
2:19-2:36- “And on the way in here I was kind of trusting the person in front of me and we were told to kind of make a wide turn. Well I ended up a little too wide and um I kind of ran into the door like this. Both sides didn’t work and I hit the door and my initial reaction… I was mad.”
2:37-2:57- “Walking over here like I uhh like didn’t like when I felt a floor change and it made me really nervous and then I like stutter stepped and didn’t really take big steps cause I was kinda scared to and then uh I was in front of Miranda and I felt her hit the door.”
