I interviewed the receptionist here in Annapolis hall. I asked her some questions. Even though she was busy, she took the time to answer them, which I appreciated because it was an interesting interview. Here are some questions I asked her:
Q. How do you feel about blind people being here?”
A. I was shocked and wondering what their going to do about the bathroom because there is no Braille. I then mentioned how one of my friends wasn’t so lucky.
Q. Do you think that the blind will be able to get around?
A. She mentioned that she has a relative who is blind and very independent.
Q. Would you be comfortable with a totally blind person driving around?”
A. “No, I wouldn’t.” I then mentioned ongoing tests of self-driving cars.
Q. Do you wonder how we read Braille?
A. Yes I really do wonder how blind kids do it. I then showed her how we do it. She was really interested.
A. Would you consider going out with a blind person? (For the record she has a boyfriend.)
A. Yes, if there were chemistry.
I thought it was a really good interview. Her name is Monica, so, when you see her, thank her for letting us know about how some of the University students here feel. Remember, say hi to her and smile.
