<p class="MsoNormal">The following link directs to a fairly lengthy but well thought out post contributed by a 21-year-old woman from the UK who is living the life she wants after facing some very real and entrenched fears. It is said that complacency kills,
and, in her case, it was killing her drive to become the independent, thriving person she is now endeavoring to be.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Complacency in any area can be damaging and is often unintentional and incidious. For our blind students and children, it is particularly harmful to skills development and the self esteem and confidence accompanying the same. I hope you
will read and be uplifted by this post as I have. <o:p></o:p></p>
