Several months after I was badly hurt in a car accident, my father sent me to a blind school.
That morning was the new beginning. I went to this school and I heard lots of children. My new teacher took me to the class where we were taught to write and type in Braille. I found it quite difficult.
"Hi, sweetheart, how is school going?" asked my father.
Daddy, I can't do this. I try and try but I just don't get it. I don't know if I am ever going to learn to read Braille. It's too difficult, "I cried.
Daddy just held me in his arms and said, "Do you remember that we went to the temple which is on the top of a mountain? When we were climbing the mountain, your legs started aching. You sat down and said, 'I can't see the temple'. You can't see it because it is covered with fog. Although you can't see it, you know it is there. I will make sure you will climb up to it."
"That day you showed me that although I can't see anything, it does not mean it is not there. Although climbing the mountain was difficult, I knew I would get to the top." I was clear what my dad wanted me to understand.
I went back to school and started with new energy. Very soon I could read.
One of my classmates said," You are lucky, you know. You have at least seen the world. I have just heard it. I have been told there are many colors in this world but I don't understand what colour means."
After listening to her for the first time in two years, I felt lucky. And on that day I learned that although the light in my eyes is gone, I must see the world with the light in my heart.
