I really feel like technology is going to set me up for a great future. For getting a job later on in life after I’m done with school – after I’m done with college. I’ll be on an equal playing field with other sighted people that have access to the exact same information that i’m going to have access to.
It doesn’t matter how you access the work, it just matters that you can access the world. That in itself- it’s a beautiful thing. It really is.
Zachary Bennoui, Perkins student
