Showing Original Post only (View all)So proud I could bust! My son has been awarded a 10 month Fulbright Scholarship [View all]
to do a research project in Berlin, Germany for the 2013-14 academic year!
Hubby and I plan to visit him...hopefully both in the fall and next spring.
This is my son with a vision impairment due to a juvenile genetic disease
that causes macular degeneration. He is legally blind--and has been since
he had major vision loss when he was nine. He never let his disability
prevent him from anything he wanted to do. He sees with his peripheral vision.
He was a double major in college: German and Comparative Lit.
Studied abroad in Berlin for summer session prior to his senior year.
We're just so proud of him!
