When I forwarded the article to this list originally, I didn't want to point out that I would be on the show, as there are other blind kids featured. This is why I didn't say it in my introduction until you read the article. Thanks again for sharing, and I hope everyone can TuneIn!</div>

<h2>Airing Monday, Jan. 28, at 8PM (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon </h2>
NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2013 — Kids describe what it's like to live without sight
in the brand-new Nick News with Linda Ellerbee special, "Out of Sight: How Blind
Kids See the World," premiering Monday, Jan. 28, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon.
They discuss the challenges and opportunities they face living in blindness.
<br>
"There are actually people who will stay away from us or won't talk to us,"
says 15-year-old Alyssa of Colorado Springs, Colo. "I had a friend - we were
really good friends - and after I went blind, he stopped coming around."<br>
"Some people see my blindness as an easy target for bullying, for ridicule.
You know, taking advantage of my blindness," says 14-year-old Chris of
Baltimore, Md. <br>
The special discusses how many blind kids know more about what they can do
than what they cannot and how they use technologies to help them navigate a
"sighted" world. <br>
"Some people choose their clothes by using their vision," says 15-year-old
Santiago of Hollister, Calif. "I use an application on my phone that tells me
the color of my clothes." <br>
10-year-old Xin Ju says she sees being blind as an advantage. "I don't need
to see something to believe in it. We use our hearts and our imaginations." <br>
"We've listened to what these kids tell us," says Ellerbee. "What they want
sighted kids to know about them which is, in most cases, that they are just
regular kids. But me, I think they're pretty special." <br></td></tr></tbody></table><br id="FontBreak"></font><br><br>
