“I overcame the border of a permanent physical disability – I have been blind since birth. Education has always been very important to me to change myself and my surroundings for the better and raise society’s awareness of the fact that there is an ability within every disability. Education is a very special leveler. It helped me become a better person and it will help me serve my country, just as it helped me go beyond my disability and enter the world just as able and as capable as any other graduate today.”
