blind problems. There is a discrimination problem, blind people are treated differently...excluded Shaheen feels. Both
Audrey and Shaheen feel passionate about changing the attitude
about blindness in their country.
Audrey feels especially strong
about fighting and demanding
change. In America, we have to
work hard for things to work for
us. She feels. Audreys lawsuit
with the school was successful
and the results may have had impacts on future discrimination
cases. By speaking out against
injustice, Audreys case may have
helped in changing the government's attitude towards blindness.
Audrey and Shaheem are both
ambitious, smart, and capable
individuals with a passion for
helping others and making a
change in the blind community.
Because of the supportive attitudes of her peers and family as
well as the resources available to
her as an American, Audrey was
able to accomplish great things
for herself, and is able to spread
her wisdom and knowledge to
help other blind individuals and
influence their lives for the better. While Shaheen is doing the
best he can with what he has,
one cannot help but wonder,
what other amazing things he
could have accomplished, and
how many other students lives
he could have possibly affected
had he the resources Audrey has.
