FAU Blind Student, Sees Everything in Her Own Way

If you go to FAU, chances are you have seen a girl using a guide stick to make her way around campus. Her name is Annmarie Bedard, a junior at FAU. Bedard was born 17 weeks premature and diagnosed with retinopathy at 2 months causing complete blindness in her left eye.  Although doctors had little hope for her when she was born, she is now a self-sufficient student that requires very little help.

If you weren't already impressed you can read more about Bedard and her struggles at the Universty Press Online and their article title "Success Beyond Sight."
