Field Trip to the School of Blind

Last Friday we went to a field trip to Pattaya. We were divided in to three groups, school for blind (which i went to) where you have to play with the blind children, day care center where you take care of little kids, and farm work where you paint playground equipment and do some farm work. So before i went to the school for the blind i was kind of scared of blind people, i felt uncomfortable near them because my dad's cousin was blind. When i reached there i was confused. The kids there looked like they knew exactly where they were going. they did not have the stick that the homeless blind people on the road use. The only this was that they had to feel every thing that they touch. After we played a small game with them in the room we had to help a kid go down the stairs. I found this small kid and helped him down the stairs. Then when we reached the ground floor the little boy just ran away from me. I was scared because i did not know where this little boy was going.  I watched him go. He went all the way across the hall way and ran into the toilet. That was quite scary. Then this kid with i think polio walked pass us using a walker. Then i felt so thankful that i actually have eyes to see and a fit body to do physical actives. Then we all went to the sports room. We played a game where there are two teams of 3 all trying to block the ball from going in. At first it sounded unfair because we can see and they cannot. But then the referee handed the people who can see, a blindfold. Now it was unfair but i was excited to watch. The blind kids were so good. They were using the sound of the rolling ball. But since we did not know that we looked like fools trying to block the air. After that we went back to the bus and went to the restaurant. They had some really good seafood. Then we went back to the bus and had a long drive back to school. After this trip am no longer scared of blind people. I no longer think they are scary. In conclusion this advisement trip has helped me over one of my biggest fear of blind people making it fun and interesting.
