My Story on VisionAware.Org

About two months ago, Maurine from VisionAware.Org contacted me to ask if I would like to be a part of their sites "My Story" collection. I was honored by this request so of course I said yes. Here is a link to my article.

VisionAware.Org is a one stop resource center on the web for those with vision loss. They cover everything from eye conditions and their treatments to how to adapt leisure activities. I highly recommend this site for anyone who is losing their vision or has a family member who is losing their vision.

Writing a story about myself was not something I think I've ever done before. I think the hardest thing was that the questions I address were so open ended. This meant I had the option to include a lot of information, but I also had to be aware of what was the most valuable to include. This process allowed me to really think about how I've arrived at the place I am now, and all of the trials that I've gone through to get here. I really hope that this story will enlighten people about what it means to grow up with a disability, as well as, demonstrate that having a disability does not mean you can't live a happy productive life.
