Life. John 3:16 Carol Ann Hummel
Hi, My name is Carol Ann Weeks. I am 24 years old. I am totally blind
but I haven't been that way all my life. I was in a bad car accident
when I was 7 years old on December 7th 1997. According to my family
the vehicle rolled on my head five to six times. I died on them six
times had a heart attack and a stroke. The whole left side of my face
was broken and the optic nerve in my left eye was cut away. I survived
somehow and I was visually impaired until I was sixteen. While sitting
in my Biology class one day I lost my sight completely and I thought
it was just because my teacher wouldn't let me go get my medicine for
my eye that was in August of 2006. My mom came to the school to take
me to the doctor cause she was like oh no she can't be losing her
sight. I cried the entire time. My eye doctor sent me to another
doctor in Dothan Alabama and he performed two cornia transplants the
first in September of 2006 and the second in October of 2006 but they
both rejected that is when we all discovered that I hadn't just lost
my sight by normal means I had had a second stroke due to no feeling
near the right eye. I was out of school for several months after I
lost my sight it took my will away. I thought there was no use cause
see I would read up to two or three romance novels a day and now I
couldn't so I was miserable. My parents had no idea what to do with
me. I soon went back to school in FSDB , I wasn't there for long
though I couldn't with stand the distance. I was sixteen going on
seventeen and scared because I wasn't able to see anything. When I got
out of FSDB my parents put me back in public school at Taylor County
High School. That is some place I new really well I grew up there from
when I was T13 years old. It was nice to be back home around my
friends and people I knew. Then in December of 2008 we moved to South
Carolina. That is where I currently live. I attended Senica High
School. I was in and out of the hospital in 2009 the year I graduated
but I got a District Certificate and I am currently working on my High
School Diploma through Hadley. I believe it is all God that has gotten
me this far and I hope and pray he can get me much farther in life. I
have never been to a NFB convention but I am trying to figure out away
to be able to attend next years.
