Students in Cosmetology class today did an exercise where they were blindfolded while attempting updos. The objective of the lesson is to teach the students about envisioning the larger picture in relation to their clients and their needs. The quote, "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision," was written on Mrs. Gina Seedig's smart board as the students prepared for the lesson.
