OBJECTIVES
To enhance my ability to work with others and experience life outside of my normal experiences, in addition to funding my college education in learning ways to help those with visual impairments become more independent and self-reliant. This is especially important to me as my youngest sister (age 6) was born completely blind, and I want to work towards making sure she has experiences to live life to the fullest.
