[nagdu] males and females

[Aleeha Dudley]

I must say that my little yellow male is stubborn, but not overly strong. I think that a female could also be big, strong, and pull entirely too much if given the chance.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
