My time of struggle is not one that has ended, but continues to be a part of me. It all started before I had an understanding of anything. I was a three month old baby being taken to a check up by my parents. In the doctor's office the doctor told my parents the diagnosis of what they had taken me for, but gave them the news that changed everything, I had a problem in my eyes that he was not able to understand.
