Last night was my last night at the seeing eye Inc., it was filled with so many mixed emotions. Excitement, anxiety, and a bit of sadness. As I mentioned in my last post, everyone here has become like my second family, it’s going to feel so different being home and not getting to see these …

My last full week at The Seeing Eye
I haven’t posted on here in a while. Last week was full of adventure! I’ve just been working on freelance trips with Ilo and enjoying every minute! We’ve worked on navigating roped lines, going to coffee shops, the pet store, navigating a local university, and even going on leisurely walks. I know I’ve said this …
My first relaxing weekend!
I have been so tired lately! But the new week has started, and I am ready! Friday I did some more freelance work. We did country roads again in the morning, and then in the afternoon we learned how to navigate a hotel and a movie theater. I was surprised that Ilo did not try …
Day 10 and 11
Yesterday I had my solo, it went pretty well. I probably did better than I think I did. But Ilo definitely was great! After my solo I came back to the main campus to have lunch, once lunch was over we began what they call freelance. Freelance is where they try to re-create scenarios that …
Day 8 & 9: Is the week over yet?
Yesterday we started our new route, this one is longer and a bit more difficult than the previous one. They called this week hell week, because this is where the dogs start to test you to see what they can get away with and the difficulty of the route can be stressful. When I heard …
Day 6 and 7: Time is flying bye!
Yesterday was so great, Ilo and I Walked on the same route we’ve been doing for the last couple of days. But this time the instructor was a little bit further away but close enough to help us out if we needed it. I was again partnered with someone else to walk the route with …
Day 5: What a day!
This morning I woke up to take my handsome boy out and I have to say, he is more of a morning person than me haha. Waking up at 5:30 every morning is hard, but you know what? It’s so worth it! After I got up, I got ready and headed off to breakfast. The …
Day 3 & 4
Day 3: I woke up and jumped out of bed as soon as my alarm went off. Dog day is finally here! Throughout breakfast, all I was thinking about was “what dog am I getting? What will their name be? Will the dog be a boy or girl?” Once I finished eating, I went to …
Day 2: is it Wednesday yet?
This morning I woke up at 4:30 in the morning, I knew I wasn’t getting my dog today but I guess my body just naturally woke up early due to overexcitement. And guess what? I couldn’t fall back asleep after that. So I started watching Netflix until about 5:30, and I got ready for the …
Day one: I’m here!
The day has finally come, I’m here! These past few months I’ve been awaiting this day, and it feels so surreal to actually be here. I started out the day getting breakfast with my family, then I hopped on the train and when I arrived, I was greeted by a staff member from the Seeing …
