My Commitment to the Kids

My commitment is absolute!  There is no turning back and there is no compromise!  For if I don't commit to blind kids of the future then who am I?  I am the person who is here today because of others!  Throughout all of my life I have been fortunate to have had great folks helping me and committing to me.  Starting with my parents and family and expanding out to my friends and associates!  Now it's time for me to step up to the plate and do what is needed and expected of me.

 

We need to make our kids the priority and in the case of all blind kids of the future, this priority has to be the top one.  If we don't then what can they expect to look forward to?  It is up to us to ensure that they have access to their legitimate rights; what is rightfully theirs and what they are obligated to receive.  Their right to access; to all websites and related content on all websites.  Their right to technology.  Their right to all services that are available to everyone else.  Their legitimate right to education; from kindergarten to university and beyond.

 

Their write to read and enjoy all books.  Their right to enjoy the sporting activities that all other kids are able to enjoy.  Their right to live as kids and be kids.  In short, we need to work together to ensure that all blind kids of the future can be what they want to be without anyone telling them no!
