I'll start..
I am an only child of two blind parents (sadly now passed on) and spent all of my childhood, teenage years and into my twenties living with at least two, sometimes three Guide Dogs. My father had a hereditary disease, Aniridia (only one other family in the country had it) meaning that he had no iris. Consequently most of my uncles, aunties, cousins etc. on my fathers side were also blind or visually impaired. My mother lost her sight at the age of five and went to an all girls school for blind girls, so, many friends of the family were also blind.
Your turn...
You also forgot to mention how clever and caring you are Dar

My parents did not believe us at first, so dad wrote some short words on small slips of paper and I remember a weekend morning when he presented them to me and I read them all. At first I read only books with lots of illustrations and not so many words, but at the age of six*, when I started school, my teacher had to give me a reading book meant for third graders, since I read the hardest level first grade book in one afternoon. I used to frequent our library a lot as a child.
*Kids in Finland usually begin school when they're seven, so that is another odd thing for me.
And YOU forgot to mention how beautiful you are Kayenneh

1 - I have Syndactyly on my feet.
2- When I was on 9th grade, I took some sort of school guidance, where a psychologist would do tests on the kids and then advise on what kind of area you should take... I was "diagnosed" as a good potential economist... but I didn't want to take geography, nor history, so I went for sciences.. and ended up in physics.
You have forgotten to mention how patient you are pocaracas
