Impact on My Life
I look at this situation as a gift not a burden. I am an optimist at heart and I look at all the things I can do rather than those things I can not do, and I thank God for them

Positive Effects
When I am told by others that I can not do something, if it is something that I really want to do, I find some way to do it.

Adaptations
CCTV and a magnifier

Working
I am a sixth grade Math teacher at Kempsville Middle School in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

More About Me
I am the father of two beautiful children and the husband to the most unbelievable woman. I have a Master's degree in Education from Old Dominion University, and I might work on my Doctorate in the near future.
