Hello Kinshuk,

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

Dear Ohio,

As many of you know, I am now on my third year of college, where I am working on degrees in Environmental Science and Geology. You also may know that the summer between a student’s junior and senior year is one that is best filled with experiences that can lead to the start of one’s career.

After my internship experience last summer  in San Diego, working for an aerospace company, I was eager to find something that was just as, or even more exciting for me. I had spent the past few months filling out countless applications and doing many interviews that lead to defeating rejection.

But, after many rounds of nerve wrecking interviews, I am now beyond excited to share with all of you that I was very recently offered and have accepted a 3 month summer internship at Tesla, in Fremont, California. I will be working as an Environmental Engineering Intern under the air quality program within the Environment, Health, Safety, and Security department.

This is a dream opportunity that I am extremely grateful for. I am grateful for Tesla for taking a chance on me. But I am even more grateful for the people and experiences that have given me the tools to achieve. Upon reflecting these past few days, it is evident that our organization, the National Federation of the Blind , has had a major impact on my ability to persist and strive for what I want in life. I can for certain say that the NFB has given me the confidence to seek opportunities, and to know that blind people can live successful, meaningful lives. This philosophy is one that has changed my life, and my passion for these values is what fuels my involvement in this organization.

It is amazing that we now live in a time where the leading electric vehicle company in the world is willing to hire a diverse team, including blind individuals. It is no secret that part of this is a result of the work for the NFB, but there is still much more work to do. I am confident and hopeful that world-leading companies like Tesla continue to give our community the chances to prove what we are capable of.

We can Live the Life we Want

Sincerely,
Kinshuk
