Hmmm... I have to ask.
If you are blind, how can do study journalism?
Just a floating thought. It tend to question stuff that makes me curious.

Anyway, it is nice to meet you. You seem like a very interesting person.

If you want to be friends, go ahead and add me and I'll add you back in return.

heya well when i was doing journalism i had a litte bit more sight so took my own photos and then used a magnification software on my computer called zoomtextto help with touch-ups and got my fellow students to help me.

when it came to research i have a program called openbook with PEARL and the PEARL is a camera that will take a photo of a document and as long as it is not hand written will turn it into a text document on my computer and i have a screen reader instilled that will read anything out that is on my computer using specific keystorkes so i used that for researching, reporting, writing etc.

hope that answers your question.

p.s i added you :-)

That's very interesting. I see that you are still functional, even when you are blind.

I added you back.
