<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Sighted people may not think they understand Alysha Jeans, blind from birth, but she seems to understand them all right. Jeans, a 2006 West High School
graduate, got to speak at the White House last month at a celebration marking the 21st anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. She followed Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Tina Tchen, chief of staff for the first lady. And she told the audience
of government officials and interns that there is a tremendous depth to people that doesn't always meet the eye.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">"I'm totally blind. I was born blind. And I said that I think a lot of people have never even met a person with a disability or interacted with them, so they don't
understand the capabilities," Jeans said in a phone call from her home in Vienna, Va., recalling her speech.
