Pushing Beyond the Blue Horizon

For me, it has always been a matter of pushing the envelope that little much further or maybe I should say that it is pushing beyond the blue horizon.  I don't think that if I were sighted I would be any different.  To me, it's a matter of doing things that would encourage others like me to get up and reach for the stars.  I feel that it is my obligation to help other blind persons to maximize their potential; to reach for the sky, to enjoy as much as they can in a world where most sighted people still have difficulty understanding and believing that blind persons can do certain things despite their lack of sight. 

 

I have learned to ice skate and it has become one of my passions.  I have learned to ski and I intend to enjoy it as much as I can.  I enjoy the outdoors, and I also push the envelope when it comes to challenging my government to make their websites accessible to all blind persons.  This is why I am presently suing the Canadian Government over inaccessible websites and unequal access to governmental information. 

 

Sometimes, I do things that take me out of my comfort's zone but you know what?  My objective is always to do something that has the potential to make things better for Blind Canadians first and foremost and then other blind persons elsewhere.  Whatever I do, I always do my best to ensure that it is done professionally, and in a manner that will help the mainstream world to become believers and followers.
