4. Ride an elevator.
5. Go up and down a hill by yourself.
6. Go through a door without using the door opener.
7. Go through a door using the door opener.

This was a fun but frusterating experiance. It definitely was an eye opening experiance as well. It was hard to do those little things that I took for granite. It was hard asking others for help because I have been independent in a lot of things but in this case I did need help. I felt very vulnerable because everyone does stare at you it's really intimidating. It is great that I had this experiance. Although, riding elevators was pretty fun because I didnt have to walk up stairs and I had a reason not to walk up stairs but finding the eleators in a lot of the buildings here on campus are hard to find! Also a lot of the door openers are really close to the door so you have to go up to it and push it then back up and it is a hassel. Great experiance though over all!
