Okay, here's mine. :) 1. How old are you? 18. 2. Where are you from (optional--although we would like to at least know the state, country or province) Originally I'm from Cincinnati Ohio, but I'm hailing from Dayton for all intents and purposes for the academic year. 3. What grade are you in? First year of college! Woot! 4. What sort of school do you go to--is it a public, private, blind, or home school? college, private if you want to know. 5. What caused you to be blind today? Genetics; I have Sclera Cornea (which you all have probably not heard of), Peter's Anomaly, and a retinal detachment in one eye. 6. To what degree is your blindness? As I said I have a detached retina, so I have nothing out of one eye. However, in my good eye I can see a little. I'm extremely near-sighted and sometimes what I can see is fuzzy depending on how small it is or how far it is from me, but I generally can get shapes, colors, etc. 7. What form of pda/computer program do you use, if any? For screen-readers I use JFW, and NVDA as backup. I have a BrailleSense On-Hand and have a horrible love for my IPhone. 8. What are your interests? I love music and play the clarinet. I also am trying to teach myself guitar and piano but at this point those are mainly just for fun. I love reading, writing, and socializing with friends. 9. What kind of occupation do you plan to do after your schooling? I am currently studying Music Therapy and hope to be a music therapist. The population of people I want to work with has yet to be determined. 10. Any other information about yourself, or concerns that you think the group should be informed of? I like cheese... that is all. Lol I can be random on occasion.
