At the beginning of my Junior year of high school I found out I had a brain tumor that caused me to go blind...
I recovered fully after my surgery and went back to school at Lorain High. I finished all my credits in two semesters and got back to wrestling. I heard of a place that could help me learn blind skills. so I went to the Ohio State school for the Blind in Columbus for a year and four months. Where I learned Braille, Tech, and Mobility. I mean tech by doing things on the computer and phone that you cited people do too. I mean mobility by crossing streets, learning how to use a bus system, and learning how to get around being blind. I also joined some sports like Track, Goalball, Wrestling, and Swimming. Goalball is like blind soccer and ironically I learned how to swim being blind. I met some great people and lifelong friends who are also visually impaired.
