Hello! My name is J and I have been blind since birth becuase I was born premature.
Now Due to my low birth weight and insufficient physical development it has resulted
in lifelong health problems for me. The common medical complications i have been
facing since birth have been a rare eye condition called Morning Glory Sindrome,
and the other is called Retinitis Pimentosa. Retinopathy of Prematurity, or (R.O.P.)
is an eye condition caused by the abnormal growth of blood vessels. This can result
in vision loss, and even blindness. Statistics indicate that an extreme premature
birth can result in death, and i thank god so very much that i was one of the lucky
ones to make it. After spending several weeks in the hospital my wonderful parents
were given the good news that i was able to finally go home. For them this was the
greatest gift of all because i was released from the Hospital on Christmas day, and
this truly is a miracle. During my teen years, and young adult life i was considered
to be Leagally Blind, but i still had some low vision. At that point in my life i
did not have the need to use a Cane, nor a Guide Dog. Well knowing that i had limitations
while growing up i made sure to make it a point to have nothing stop me from having
a normal childhood. In my mid Twenties in college i Gradually began to loose my vision.
Then one day to my surprise in the morning i woke up in total darkness only leaving
me now with some light and shadow preception. At first i must honestly admit that
the shock was dramatic for me, and i was in a state of total confusion. Each day
that passed by i desperately tryed to figure out the reasons as to why this had happened
to me. At this time this was a very cridical point in my life in which i had to make
a very important decision as to what i was going to do next. I was locked in my room
for several months, and i was living a battle within myself. In my mind i was dealing
with very distructive thoughts. On the other hand, in my heart i still had my faith.
The only thing i needed to do was to make that right choice. Until i noticed this
one day that was very different from the others. On that certain day i really felt
an amazing burst of strength, and felt my heart wanting to beat again with life.
I believe that faith was preparing me to discover a new passage for my new life that
i was soon going to experience. I knew that the journey that i was about to embark
was going to be hard because i had to learn everything over. It was like being born
once again, but this time into total darkness. While growing up i really didn't want
for anyone to feel sorry for me or as the Latin Culture would say "Ay Bendito" I
just ask to be treated the same as they would want to be treated. Now my struggles
have gotten even harder, and it truly seems that its just not enough to get that
big break, or the foot in the door. Never the less, i will still keep on believing
in the passion i have in my heart, since God has given me a chance at life, i know
that i must have a purpose, and a mission in this world. I believe that one day i
will get my chance to shine. Hey! watch out cause here i come.... -- "Most of the
important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying
when there seemed to be no hope at all". -- Dale Carnegie -- "Optimism is the faith
that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence". Helen
Keller. -- We the one's who are challenged, need to be heard. To be seen not as a
disability, but as a person who has, and will continue to bloom. To be seen not only
as a handicap, but as a well intact human being. -- Robert M. Hensel.
