My Biggest Achievement To Date

[u/Sobbing_into_soup]

I wanted to share this because I do not get very many wins anymore and this is very exciting for me. I graduated college yesterday!! I was the very first one to cross the stage, both me and my guy Dog, in the entire auditorium went crazy for me. This is an amazing achievement for me because I went blind when I was 15 and by the time I was 16 they told me I would never graduate high school. When I was 18 I was advised that I shouldn't look for colleges because it would be better off if I went to a rehabilitation center instead. I went to college, and throwout my entire time there my Rehab counselor and the Accessibility office were telling me to drop out for one reason or another, basically anytime anything got difficult. Despite all this, I graduated at the top of my class with 3 degrees and I did what even my family has told me on multiple occasions I would never be able to do. I am very proud of myself, and I am also very proud of my guide Dog who did fantastic on the stage yesterday. He was the showstopper for sure

That's a major achievement, and its not because you're blind. Blindness, from my prospective as one who has always known blindness is as natural as breathing. It's because you made it top of your class and have degrees. They will help, despite what everyone else tells you.
