This Spring semester was very good , I finished it with excellent grades in all my courses! I also had so much fun in doing fun activities such as, skiing, ice skating, workout, Goalball, hiking, biking, and sea kayaking. I wanted to attach with this post some pictures for some of the activities I did, but I couldn't. I also received my ticket to go to Boring Oregon to get my guide dog. I'm leaving this coming Sunday, May 22 and returning Sunday, June 5th. I will keep you up to date with my class experience at Guide dog for the blind (GDB). today I finished preparing my apartment for my new friend and I had the final visit from my O&M instructor before I leave to get my guide dog. I'm looking forward for the new life and the new experience and the challenges I will in counter! some people may ask how I convinced my Muslim family to accept the guide dog idea. As you know, I've done a research about guide dogs in the view of Islam, and my family helped me with that by asking the Muslim leaders in Oman about if having a guide dog is accepted in Islam. My mom questioned me about having a dog and how it's going to help me in my life at the beginning, but she accepted the idea after I and my blind sister explained to her the benefits of guide dogs. I'm not planning to go back to Oman this summer, I will be taking classes at CSU as well as doing some fun activities such as water skiing, camping, biking, and so on.
Thank you for reading!
