Carrol,

Stchdying music is also cool; I also play the piano, and am 
planning to minor in music when I get to college.
Do you play a musical instrument, or you just like music and want 
to study it?

If you do play an instrument, do you know Braille music?
I do.

I'm just curious to know this.

Thanks,

Sami.

 Hi Carrol,

 Nice intro and welcome to the list!

 I hope that you will like and feel comfortable with our 
discussions here
 after your rather tragic teenage life.  This is what this sort 
of
 community is for.  We are all here to discuss our feelings and 
emotions
 among our friends and make one another feel better.

 I'm sorry to here that you suffered a car accident that made you 
loose
 your vision.
 That must have been tough for you and your family to adjust to.

 How do you feel now about yourself after about 8 years of being 
blind?

 To introduce myself to you, I am currently 16 and in high school 
as well.


 I hope to go to college and become a language interpreter or 
teacher.  (I
 speak 3 languages: English, French and Spanish).  My mom is 
French, and I
 used to take Spanish at school.

 Don't know if you're interested in languages just wanted to 
point this out
 since you are a new member and you probably want to know about 
the rest of
 us here on list.

 Do you have any hopes for your future after you graduate from 
High
 school?

 Welcome again to the list, and hope you enjoy!

 Yours,

 Sami.

 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.

 God Bless,
