Sight: The Ultimate Blessing

In addition, this fact is a very crucial feature I would need in my life. Occupying a job or career is like a home base for almost everyone in the world because without a job or career, a person cannot make money too support themselves or their family. An individual without a job cannot obtain their daily needs and receive money for a home, schooling, and to support their family. A blind person is very limited. Secondly, personal identity is pretty much connected to work. Famous questions many of us hear at parties or when a person meets someone is, "What kind of work do you do?" or "What do you do for a living?" These questions can be very unfortunate and bothersome to a being that just encountered or has been encountering vision loss. Also, work consumes a lot of times in peoples' lives. It keeps them busy and allows them to come in contact with other people. When work is taken away or if a person is limited to a certain job such as blind people, they can loose then sense of connecting with other people on a social level, experience the loss of accomplishment, and become very disinterested in life itself. In a past experience, I was at the hospital for my grandmother, when my Uncle Al and I went to the mini store at the hospital we noticed something different about the cashier. My Uncle told me that he was given this special job because he was blind and could not work at other general stores outside the hospital. As I could tell the cashier had a difficult time ringing the customers up and had to feel this certain code to know what they were buying. At that moment I knew he was limited to only certain activities and jobs in his life. My Uncle Al knew the cashier on a personal level and exclaimed how the cashier loves his job because he has the opportunity to connect with people. However, it is not the same as seeing their face and it becomes lonely and depressing at times.
