- College can be a tough adjustment for any student and that can be amplified by a disability. Imagine coming to college without any idea what the campus looks like. Junior Chris Wright, from Nashville, TN, tells us his story about what college is like for someone born blind.

This is my grandson,, Chris. I'm very proud of you! What a great job you did on this video. I'm just beaming with pride!
+Gale Scales respect for your grand son
So much respect for him!
He is doing great indeed. Very positive :-)
God bless you the family and Chris! So much respect and love for him be blessed!
Star Fire you shut the fuck up dumb ass
thank you all remarks. It means so much to me that my son is making a big impact on so many lives. we just tried to raise him as if nothing would ever hold him back from what he wanted to do in life
Shawn Wright I had the honor to have Chris in one of my classes when he was at msu. he was one of the best students I've had since I began to teach in 2003 in terms of intelligence, active participation in class, and politeness.
Thank you so much. We tried to raise him right
God Bless you
your son seems amazing!
Shawn Wright
You should be proud of Chris. You did an amazing job raising him. Be proud of him and yourself.
Nothing makes me cry more than thinking about the blind of our society. I remember going to work early in the morning around 6 am years ago and seeing a blind lady that was ALWAYS there, I assume going to work, and struggling like the rest of us, using her cane and navigating her environment. Around that time I was very discontent with my life feeling sorry for myself, but when i saw her EVERY day doing the same thing I was doing, going to work out of sheer necessity, without the miraculous gift and privilege of sight, it made me weep like a baby when i was by myself in my room thinking about her and others in her situation. It's still hard to take. May the good lord bless their souls!

And i always ask him about his day n tell him to keep his head up and be strong...thanks chris for being a inspiration on me n reminding me anybody can do anything as long as you keep ur head up n keep going.....doug smitley....
Very inspiring. I am a recently blinded woman in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and a writer, author, sailboat racer, and a musician, and I do everything I did before I lost my eyesight.

Young adults like this has a big pleace in my heart.May God always bless them.
Thank you, Gale! We appreciate Chris taking the time to tell us a bit of his story, and we're very proud of the way this video turned out.
Wow this is heartbreaking to know about a person who’s freedom of the gift of life is degraded let alone being a person who is blind. I commend Chris for his courage and endurance.
I was born about 3 months too early and I weighed 2.2lbs in 1968. I was in an incubator for two months and had open heart surgery when I was two years old. We are both lucky to be alive, you and me, Chris! I am legally blind. 20/200 and 20/400. I'm 48 now. I went to college too at LA Tech. In Ruston, LA, the same town as LA TECH, they have a wonderful Center for the Blind there and I attended their 6 month program. I learned how to use a white cane, read Braille, orientation and mobility classes, computer classes using JAWS, and basic independence and life skills. I highly recommend LA Center for the Blind. We are lucky to be alive right now, with all of this great technology that helps us.
My retinas didn't develop fully, nor in the correct location in my eyes, so I am suffering from exotropia (outward turned eyes -- strabismus) and also a severe nystagmus. Recently my vitreous liquid in my left eye is detaching and I am losing the little sight I have in that eye. This is a common thing for people with Retinopathy of Prematurity to possibly experience in their 40's- 50's, so I'm right on schedule apparently, hahaha.
Good Luck to you, Chris! PS-- are you a member of the National Federation of the Blind? I am, they were a huge help to me all of my life.
God Bless you. you are a wonderful person.
How are you feeling now, dear?

So much respect! He’s so positive as well. So inspirational as well!
I have a fellow at my university who is blind and can't walk. He's super helpful. He assists people in English and their essays. He's so great.

A truly amazing video on an inspiring man. Chris has empowered me to live life to the fullest and never give up no matter what. I wish him a life long and full of happiness. And one day a lucky individual will get the honor of marrying an authentic human being that is Chris.
Hi Chris and Gale. Your video helps to take the fear out of the unknown for those who may be losing their sight. Hope your graduation went well and you're following your career dreams...😊 from the UK
This guy's awesome! Keep up the great work Chris! ☺️
Hi, Chris hope to hear more update in your progress in your life ! Great video.
What a sweet young man. I wish him all the best.
This is a wonderful video. Thanks for producing it. Attaboy!
This made me emotiona. He seems like a such a nice guy!
Our prayers are with those who live with blindness.
I had to stop watching , because my heart can't Handel it! God bless you! You are so much smarter and better than anybody !
He's a good kid. I'm so glad that God trusted me enough to raise him. I'm so proud of him. Best son in the world.
“If i can give back,” ugh he’s amazing.
This was a real eye opener to see
All the best Chris... you ARE an inspiration...
Hello from Singapore 🇸🇬 you are an inspiration. Take care and lots of love.
Sending Love from Nigeria & Africa!
Disability to me isn’t physical but a state of mind!!! Billions of people have vision yet a degenerate mind. His oneness in mind will see him outlive a lot of people with so called vision yet with duality in their minds!!!
You rock!!!
What an incredible inspiration of human strength and capabilities! Love him. He is truly an inspiration for me I have glaucoma He’s so incredible
He is amazing. I wish him the best :)
What a geniunely great person.
I understand what he's going through. I am also blind and college is really hard, any where from getting around campus or getting my books in audio. My college has a great disability center and they are so helpful.
Hey, can I ask you what do you study? I'm very interested in what kind of professions can blind people have
@@dontletcoronabite4245 lots of blind people become teachers, customer service reps, state employees, lawyers and accountants just to name a few.
@@albinoguidedog your dog looks super cute, btw! I'm just worried that noone would hire a blind person if there's a normal person who applied for the job, especially since I don't live in a very modern country. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but how can a (completely) blind person be a teacher when they can't see what their students are doing and if they're cheating on exams?
@don't let corona bite I was a teachers aid for a few years for a special ed school. Most blind people that are teachers usually teach other blind students. And sadly if a blind person and a sighted person both went for a job the chances of the sight person getting the job are higher then the blind person. Even if that sighted person has less qualifications then the blind person.
@@albinoguidedog yeah, here where I live we don't even have those schools. I'm still a teen but my sight is very bad so I'm scared about what profession can I have if the worst happens
pray for those who is blind (:
happy new year Chris!
Wow great inspiration
Smart boy!
so much respect
God bless you, Chris!
What a cool guy! Keep rocking it Chris!
@wshelton92 i m liking your comment after 8 years
Amazing God is good to Chris ❤
My twin brother Justin was born blind too. He has caregivers that come over on Wednesdays through Sundays and they help him bathe and they make him lunch. He can play piano and beatbox (:

God's blessings on you Chris.❤💎👑
PS: I do not understand why anyone would thumbs down / down-vote this video!!!!
SOME PEOPLE SO FUCKING BLIND THEIRSELF TO the struggle to bli d people
th-cam.com/video/KruNGnxPqk0/w-d-xo.html
Amazing!
respect
God bless him.
Well that's a deeply sad life.... Hopefully they can fix that one day..
I am not blind yet but it is going that way. My left eye is mostly blind and my right eye might follow soon (glaucoma that is being treatment resistant) it is nice to see others coping without sight.

I love you brother cod bless you
I feel so bad
Exact reason i have vision loss too, though I still have usable vision.
A HUGE part of my college selection was also DSS.

cris u r brave i like u bro
I had a dream that I think I was blind and I could only see colors, but not the actual image so someone had to help me move around. I could distinguish light and dark colors. I wonder if that' s how actually being blind is like.
Yes, but 75% worst
@@shawnwright5110 Wow I forgot I wrote this comment. Surprised I got a notification for your reply. Take care now
Hello I just recently lost part of my vision in October in now carry low vision I was interested in attending some sort of line college ring do you have any suggestions on how to begin that process? Thanks again for the support and inspiration
I would like to take online classes
Search out Colleges that is what we did with Christopher. And Murray State was the best fit for him. Thank you Murray State.

hi Chris what are you studying?
Why is he wearing an analog watch?
It could most likely be a braille watch or a talking watch, but just FYI, blind people also use smart watches because adaptive technology for the blind is built into all smart devices.
What did he study?
Nonprofit organizations and double majored in commercial communication. I'm his father and I am very proud of my son
pls moment of rage for people who disliked
Hi.]
I want to be his friend!
Look him up on Facebook message him you saw this video and you want to be his feiend and send him a friend request.
@@shawnwright5110 Hi Mr Wright I just read your message, it's a bit hard to look for your son on Facebook since his name is quite common. Well please say hi to him and I'm kinda curious how he's doing now. I hope he's fine and has wonderful life! Thanks!
I ALWAYS WHANT AND PRAY THST YOU HAVE A VARY GOOD ILIFE 😉😉😊😊

Did you ever ask is he could see his dreams
How do you have a show about accessibility but you do not add captioning in that kind of one fighted
My name is Jeffery Brian Bahry. I am a long term victim of high technology electronic weapons attacks. These same weapons ( NSA Remote Neural Monitoring ) can easily restore Sight for the Blind and Sound for the Deaf.
Why is he wearing a watch?
For the same reason anyone else does. Blind people can still use watches
I don't understand why god makes blind people suffer so much? All of them are being born innocent? Why they deserve this?
th-cam.com/video/KruNGnxPqk0/w-d-xo.html
The longest six minutes of my life I don't even know why I tapped on this video
You're such a bitch to make that comment
Nobody forced you to watch it. If you don’t want to learn about adaptations for blind people, just go somewhere else.
He has a wrist watch, does he ask other people what it says?
Hi. Sorry it took me so long to see this comment. One of my friends told me that I had comments to this video. The watch is a braille watch, so it opens up ,allowing me to tell the time. This is accomplished by having three dots on the 12, two on the three, to on the six, and two on the nine. All other numbers have one dot. Thank you for watching.
Chris Wright You are sooo inspiring. Wow. God bless you Chris.
Chris Wright id love to network with you! is there any way maybe we could exchange emails? :)
My mother in law is blind and wears a watch that will speak the time when you press a button on the side.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
What do u see in dark...haha..poor man🤣
0:25 "I love reading" (not making fun of it, I'm just a really emotionless person who doesn't understand life yet and likes to make fun of everything)
Most blind people love to read! Between braille and audiobooks, we are some of the most well red people you’ll ever meet. Your comment is actually extremely rude.
Can he just fix this with surgery??
If he could’ve, he would’ve done it by now

@@largoallegrorisoluto money.
No and this is a very frustrating question that anyone with a vision impairment is constantly asked. There are many different causes of vision loss, most of which cannot be “fixed“ by any current medical technology. It doesn’t mean that someone who is blind cannot live a happy, successful and fulfilling life, have a great career, raise a family etc. It’s unfortunate that someone who is visually impaired constantly faces bombardment with questions about why we don’t just wear better glasses or get surgery.
