When you had everything; letting go is hard, hard but you
need to let go the old to welcome the new.
That's the exact way I decided to move on with life as a person with blindness. It wasn't really an easy journey; it put all my skills, talent and belief to test. To my advantage, I had the support of my friends and family.
Quicker than I could realize the change; I was already suggested to start my re-habilitation for the blind with well-established institutes in the field.
I was trained in mobility and orientation skills; making me confident and independent to travel/ walk on my own with the help of my white cane. I was taught on how to use the computer with the help of a screen reader; an assistive technology that converts text on the screen to speech. I found new technology to help me overcome my disability and focus on my ability.
The song running through my head while writing this blog is Eye of the tiger by the band Survivor (1982) which was also the theme song for the movie ROCKY III. This song was also running in my head throughout my training days; yes; I felt like Balboa; and a survivor looking straight into the eye of the tiger.
