Hi.
I was seventeen when I got my first guide. It was the summer before my
senior year in high school, and I was kind of worried about how people would
respond to having a dog in school. Luckily, my experience was pretty good.
No one was cruel to my guide. There was a lot of interest in her, of course,
and people did try to pet and feed her, thinking that I wouldn't notice.
However, the staff was very cooperative, and, by the end of my senior year,
she wasn't so much of a novelty anymore.
