Impact On Your Life
It had a huge impact on my life. It just happened at an age where you are just figuring who you are and what you wanna be then boom... But having my brother going through the same thing made me feel not so alone. I have such a great family, that life has been easier than some.
Positive Effects
Being visually impaired has let me do things a lot of other people will never experience in life, and I have met so many wonderful people that have affected my life for the better!
Adaptations
I don't really use anything in my daily routine, but I did back in school.
Employment
I am a stay at home mom and wife and will eventually go back to school when my husband is done.
More About Me
I am married and have a little girl (b. 2006) and a little boy on the way!
