[CT-NFB] Today’s Question of the Day

[Deb Reed]

Hi everyone,
Being blind is a challenging trait to possess. It causes me to be as independent as possible and at the same time be safe. Although I get tired easily trying to use my low vision, having the skills and tools to do things non-visually is empowering. My cane allows me freedom to move about the world and live my life! It offers me a degree of certainty about my environment. 

Sincerely,
 Deb Reed
