Wright State students

I meant to write this on Thursday, but got side tracked with work...who would have thought work would get in the way of my blogging!
Anyways, I was walking to get my lunch through the fabulous tunnels at Wright State. If you don't know about the tunnels at WSU, they are pretty much just tunnels in the basements of each building at WSU that connect to each other so you don't have to go outside to get anywhere on campus. It's the coolest thing...Miami needs tunnels!
So as I was saying, I was walking through the tunnels to get my lunch when I got behind a blind girl with her seeing eye dog. I walk super fast and I could have gone around her, but I decided to stay back and observe. As I'm watching from behind I just began to realize how awesome these dogs are and the students. WSU is one of the universities in Ohio with the most disabled students....it's pretty cool that they offer so many services to those students in need. So I'm thinking as I'm walking...how does the dog know where to go...how does he know she wants to go to the Student Union and get lunch? He turned corners on cue, went up stairs on cue, turned more corners, went up more stairs and took her right to the cafeteria...amazing!! I really don't get it. And as we walked up one of those sets of stairs, when we got to the top, out of the elevator came a blind girl in a motorized wheel chair with those long sticks to guide her direction. Again...I was amazed how she knew where she was going. It's cool to see other students just walk right past them and make no big deal about them...you do have to watch out for the sticks since you're able to get hit with one, but most everyone just steps aside and waits for them to walk by.
Being at WSU for over 6 years, I have seen several disabled students going to class, lunch, home, etc. time and time again, but it never fails that I'm more amazed and inspired at what they accomplish and achieve each day.
