Not only is David Paterson New York's first Black governor, he is NY's first legally blind governor. His blindness was caused by a childhood illness. He has some vision in one eye and no vision in the other. He went to law school AFTER being legally blind.
What is his message to me? Blindness is no excuse to not hold yourself to the highest standard of achievement. Many people, out of ignorance, will coddle us. The "tough love" mentality has to come from within. Hard? Absolutely! Worth it? Well, what is the alternative?
