Okay, here's the low down. I am legally blind and with that I shouldn't be driving. I don't like to drive because I am scared that I might hurt someone. Not being able to drive sucks. It takes away some of my independence and that means I have to count on somebody else to take me places. For example, tonight I might be ordering pizza delivery because I haven't gotten groceries yet. Timmy had an appointment for which he had to get up early to go to so when he got back he had to get some more sleep. Gabriella had girl scouts tonight after school so I couldn't have my mom take me and be back in time to pick her up. Hence, no groceries.
My license does not expire till September and I have been driving less and less but there are times when I have no choice to drive. I can't keep waking Timmy up to take me and Bri to the doctors or take something up to the school because one of the girls forgot something. I can't keep having my mom take sick/vacation time because one of the girls have an appointment in Allegan or Kalamazoo and from everything I have heard ACT is good and reliable at times, but I need to know that they are going to work for me all of the time and that I am not going to be somewhere waiting! I am even still working on how the girls are getting home after school next year when the weather is horrible because it sounds like with the school budget cuts there will be no city bus routes!
So think about your freedom and independence to go anywhere and cherish it, because I don't have that luxury anymore and wish I did.
