[Jobs] [BlindBBS] This one made me think!

[Judith Bron]

Is this the story of the young boy who got up to bat on a little league team 
but was physicly impaired?  If I remember correctly he was suffering from 
cancer and there were doubts that such a player could hit the ball much less 
make it to first.  What shea has taught all of us is that all of us have the 
ability to "hit" the ball regardless of what the world thinks of us with our 
impairments.  Every day we hit the ball and with our own accomplishments we 
make it to first and then make it to second.  And we keep plugging knowing 
that making it to home is a far cry from what the world thinks we can 
accomplish but we keep on hitting that ball and running the bases because 
the loss of our eyesight has made us more ferocious fighters and given us 
the drive that the world only reads about in fictitious books.  We are the 
winners but when we become complacent with our lives we quickly become 
losers, we have to keep slugging to keep our winning record.  Judith
