On my way home from taking my last final of the semester, I met a very interesting man. When I got on the train, he was conversing with these three out of towners and telling them about all the interesting things around here and there and being quite hilarious about it. When the out of towners got off at Hicksville, I started talking to him.

His name is Albert and he has been completely blind for 4 years now. He lost his vision when he came down with a bout of Meningitis. When he was still able to see, he was a Kindergarten teacher. Now, he is the founder and CEO of a website called My Blind Spot I advise you all to check out his website and read about his journey.

Albert has a very sweet guide dog named Doxie (short for Doxology). I got licks and nuzzles from him :-D

In about two weeks, Albert will be appearing on Good Morning America. The segment has already been taped and will be with Juju Chang :) He's also been on the BBC and News 12.

I'm glad I chose to sit where I did on the train because otherwise, I would have never met him.
