Impact On Your Life
I don't know how I graduated from university before 2 weeks and end the life of learning specialist in Accounting with a ratio of Excellent, but the problem is no one believes that I can't see, and everything was and remains difficult for me .

It reminds me that I am blessed to be able to see somewhat, and not be completely blind. There are people worse off, so appreciate what you have. Don't take anything, including your health, for granted.

Adaptations
Magnifier to read the books. That is the only thing that he uses for help to read. Relating to computer, there is a feature of Windows 7 or Vista which is known (( start magnifier )). You can find it in control panels , then click ease of access center.

Graduated from University with Accountant certificate. Now I'm searching for a job. Everything is hard for me. I ask God to employee me with kind people who understand my case.
