You’re playing basket ball with your friends. Your friends on your team are telling you to shoot. You shoot, and score. You could also be in a race with your friends. Are you going to win? You might know these things if you could see.

Just imagine not being able to see while you’re doing your favorite things. You would trip and fall and run into your friends. That’s not the worst of being blind. You wouldn’t be able to see your dogs, or your parents face. If it was your birthday, you wouldn’t know what you got. You would need a lot of help. You would need someone to teach you how to read Braille. You might also need a guide dog. If you didn’t have sight, you wouldn’t know where to go. If you heard a strange noise, you would probably be frightened. You would be like a little pup not knowing where its mother is.

Since I still have my sight, I don’t know what it feels like to be blind. I thank God every day since I have this wonderful gift. If you are able to have all of the senses, you should feel lucky.
