So I figured I should write a journal and it just so happened to be that something big in my life has occurred (at least, it is something big for me :P)

Last Wednesday I got to hear that I might be allowed to drive.. but wait, why is that big news? Well, before last Wednesday I was told that I was never going to drive. Ever. And I knew this for almost my whole life. No, not because I am this naughty boy who spent half of his life in prison nor am I an alcoholic :P I am visually impaired and glasses don't help (why that is, is a long story :P).

So, driving a car would be very dangerous for me. But! Last year the Dutch government accepted a new law that states that visually impaired people are allowed to drive if they meet the required standards to drive with special equipment. This "special equipment" is sort of glasses used by surgeons. In my left glass, I will have a "telescope" built in which allows me to see things that are far away.

Last Wednesday, I had to test if I am eligible for such thing. To my own surprise, I was! :D And I even found out some more facts about my eyes too. So that was part 1 and 2. Test to see if I am eligible for those glasses and a test to see if I can work with those glasses (The first time was quite hard to get something in focus within 1 second).

Now I need to train with those glasses and get better and better and faster and faster. And after 6 training sessions, they will assess my skills and if they are good enough, I will be allowed to learn how to drive at a special school :)

For my whole life I believed that I was never going to drive and that I would always be dependent on public transport. But now I have chance to change that. Because being able to drive is very very handy sometimes :P

So that makes a husky like me happy *wags* ^.^ getting such an opportunity. Anyway, that was all I wanted to say :) *huggles all*
