Tell me what happened to you as the guide, then as the blind person.
List all things you can remember, especially your emotions. Where were
you frustrated? Where were you scared? Did you let go of your partner
by accident? Did they let go of you? How did you feel in the hallway
where you had to come to the teacher alone? Was it easy to walk alone
to the teacher? How has this exercise made you more aware of someone
with this type of handicap?
