> me the color of my clothes."
>
> 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."
>
> "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."
