    Thank you so much for this! As a person who was born blind, I feel the exact same way!

    Had the pleasure of Santiago's company when I was teaching at Cavendish Road High School. If you you ever wonder where quality adults come from, well ..... they come from being quality young(er) people. Santiago was the first student in Queensland (Australia) to have a guide dog at school with him. I believe he is now studying engineering. Watch this space .... he will continue to do great things and inspire others.

    I have just got the green light to get my white cane. I am so excited to be getting it but i also have nerves thanks to social stigma associating to the white cane.

    Better to be blind than deaf IMO. Even though I'm sighted and hearing, blind people seem to have more potential in life than deaf as Helen Keller says, "Blindness separates people from things, and deafness separates people from people". Deaf people seem to live a simpler life being independent, but being blind has more potential in learning to surrender your independence.

    I am blind and funnily enough I both agree and disagree with this. I think society has to go further than we currently are because there is definitely an unnecessary amount of barriers that exist that don't need to in this day and age. So much could be changed by technology, education, perspective changes but in my opinion that isn't the entire story. social setup and attitudes may be 70 to 80 percent of the problem but 20 percent or so is nature. At the end of the day humans have evolved to do certain things well under certain circumstances and our senses and organs reflect that. We are meant to see biologically. That doesn't mean we should be seen as lesser because society can fill in the gaps left by biology but in my opinion it's not just societies problem. Some blind people wouldn't see if given the choice. I would.

      Screen readers are software programs that allow blind or visually impaired users to read the text that is displayed on the computer screen with a speech synthesizer or braille display. Users may also use the spell checker in a word processor or read the cells of a spreadsheet with a screen reader...

    I love this presentation, but blind people should NOT drive! I hope that was a joke.

    • @alika207

      Self driving cars are coming eventually. I will admit, though, that the thought of being in one makes me anxious, as a blind person who has been in cars and bosses that have been driven by humans all my life.

    They should at least give blind people, a chair and make them sit rather than making standing them 4 a long time, so that these kinda ppl feel comfortable

      Being a visually impaired person, I dont understand why you think he needs a chair to sit? I can clearly understand that you didnt understand anything that Sandy wanted to convey. Please watcg tge video again but this time, blind folded abd try to understand it.
