Spreading your Wings

Life can be like the African elephant with learning everything because a calf is raised by the whole heard. Weather or not it is a teenager wanting to experience life or an adult looking for a new hobby they are spreading their wings. The first time someone moves to a different place it is difficult but it is also necessary  to become individuals. To experience something new is also good because it allows them to see a new perspective on the world around them. I am experiencing for the first time moving away from home and it is hard. In a way though I needed to move to a better city for being blind and to spread my own wings. The city I moved to is very good for the visually impaired community so it allows easier access for me. A fully experienced person should also try some new hobby every once in a while to change the routine of everyday.Trying some new place to eat or even taking a vacation to another country is spreading your wings.What do you try or have tried to spread your wings?

update...

Here goes another update on my life. I was not able to get the requirements in on time for the guide dog class in December so I will have to wait maybe until the summer. This will be because I am going to College in January with a couple of classes a couple times a week. I am taking an Intro to Psychology, Intro to Journalism to learn more about writing better and a College Composition class. I am starting off part time because it has been quite a while since I have had the fast pace of going to school. I did change my major to Criminal Justice because I thought it would help me better with goin to the 

dispatch field. I could also use it for writing in certain fields. I am meeting with my teachers to discuss accommodations in class at the 11th of January. I start classes on January 16th so it is very helpful to meet with the teachers before hand. I will likely have to remind the teachers about helping me periodically but I have heard thats normal with someone who has a visual impairment. I also found a door to door service to help me with traveling around when I need to. If you do not know what this is all it is a service that I call and tell them what time I would like to be picked up at and dropped off at.Of course I would have to tell them the locations I would want for that too. So away from the serious stuff now. I saved a kitten from the cold November 10th and she is very sweet. I had some trouble teaching her some manners but she is learning slowly its fine with me though because she is still a kitten. I am not sure how old she is or how long she was outside but she was not very skinny and large enough not to be extremely young. I named her Goldie because I was told she is orange but a very light orange so she reminded me of the sunrise or sunset colors. My other animals are doing ok with having her around so that is very good. My dog thinks she is a play toy so he keeps trying to get her to play with him but all the kitten does is hiss or ignore him. My other cat is not very happy either but they are doin well otherwise.I have started a couple series which is about magic and they are very interesting even though magic is not what I usually read about. O before I forget I also Got a stripe on my white belt for Jiu Jitsu. I need three more stripes to advance to a blue belt. I am very excited about my own progress and hope to continue well. I am wondering when I will be able to go to a tournament and put my skills to the test. I am not inpatient about goin though.
