Blind for an hour

I decided to be blind for an hour, and it was a different experience. At first, I felt helpless because it was very difficult to walk and I was afraid of bumping into something. I walked slowly and I felt with my hands if I was bumping into something. Sometimes my arms were tired, so I stopped feeling with my hands and just walked. Suddenly I bumped into the wall. That hurt.

     I really felt helpless because I always needed help; I needed help to take a glass of milk, to find my pencil and many other things.

     After half an hour, I started getting used to be blind. I used my sense of hearing to go from place to place, but it was, however, still difficult. Everything was still dark, but my sense of hearing became better because I could here noises which I have never heard before. I could hear the clock ticking which I have never noticed.

     All in all it was boring to be blindfolded because I couldn’t watch TV, play on my computer, do homework or anything else, and I actually didn’t know how to spend the time.

     But this experience made me think of people, who are always blind. They can’t watch TV, play videogames and many other things. I feel sorry for them and I have decided to help a blind next time I meet one.
