[Sahar's Beaded Creations]

Learning braille is definitely the right choice. Braille is really literacy for blind people. It is especially crucial if you are going to teach blind kids.

Does everyone think I made the right decision to learn Braille? 2 Reasons Why I am learning Braille is because I plan to be a paraeducator for the visually impaired and I have glaucoma in both of my eyes so I want to prepare in case glaucoma takes my vision.
