No matter the visual impairment, school can still prove to be challenging. What caused the most problems for you at school? How did you overcome these situations? Was/is school a fun time for you or a waking nightmare? (Try to give specific reasons)
What would you have done differently? Finally, what advice do you have for the younger generation who will be entering school? This can be any level of education depending on your age.

I suppose it's time to answer my own question. Hmm lets see.......
The things I had the hardest time with was seeing the black board. It drove me crazy sometimes that despite the fact that I sat in the front row I still could not see the damn thing. I also was unable to read small print. All my text books were enlarged in these massive books where one text book was the equivalence of like 7 or more volumes. I always felt embarassed to use these giant books....sometimes I refused.
All I ever wanted was to blend in and be just like everyone else. I still feel that way but I'm starting to realize it's better to be different because it allows me to veiw the world in a unique way that no one else can see.
