 Grace always said, my personal motto is blind can do anything. I'm going home here! If she wants to do something, she figures out a way to do it. We never ever made a big deal about her being blind. I have wanted to always raise her like, you can do anything anybody else does, we just might need to figure out a way to do it differently. Going into her school years, Grace has always wanted to just keep right up with her sighted peers and do what they're doing. I'm in the fifth grade of Village Elementary School. It's completely an open school for everybody. Grace is in the general education classroom because she can do all of the same work as her general education peers and we want her to be able to show that. For many years, she has been able to do the lessons, but she's had multiple pieces of equipment. She often had to have an aide read to her. When Grace doesn't have access to the same things as all the other kids, it really does frustrate her. Just go get a pencil and paper. I have to use special technology that produces Braille and that speaks. Open classroom. It's been really exciting to see what technology can do for her. This year in fifth grade, she's using Google Classroom and it has just opened up a whole world for her. Lesson 12, new assignment document contents, double tap to edit. Now when I give an assignment, it's kind of a seamless transition. She's able to get the same assignment they're getting at the very same time. And it feels nice not to be like, oh, she's a special kid. We've got to do everything different just for her. This has been a game changer. Her confidence level has really gone through the roof because she feels like she's able to keep up and that she has something comparable to what her peers are using. Grace enriches this class beyond compare. It means so much for me that she is truly included in every aspect of our classroom. I like this day in age where there's like no segregation. I want to make the world know that blindness isn't a tragedy. This is who I am and I love the way I am.
