Thriving in the Fulbright Program with my Visual Impairment

It has been such an amazing, exciting journey to be in the United States. As a Fulbrighter, I have had the chance to meet so many new people, experience new cultures, and discover new beautiful areas in New York, Connecticut, Michigan, and many others. I also had a chance to try ice skating for the first time and it was an amazing experience.

I’m excited to keep discovering, meeting new people, and making the best of this experience.

Being visually impaired will never stop me, and although there are challenges, I will never give up!
