Starting young
by: JRV on Fri, Sep 04 2009

I am 18 and barely graduated high school. I was ready to prepare for my future, begin drving, working, and about to start school. I knew i had RP but didn’t know it would progress so quickly. I can no longer drive or study the career i had planned. Soon i will be preparing with low vision docters to be able to live a semi-normal life. My future plans are no longer up to me.
