The energy of a beautiful girl with a strange disease can only see up to 10cm

10 cm is the length of a pencil, a thread, or a spoon. But 10 cm is also the farthest limit that Thanh Nhi (SN 2002) can see. After that 10 cm, all is darkness.

How can a girl with the lowest academic performance in the class rise to become a good student in History? Can a blind girl live independently in a big city? Talking to us, Thanh Nghi talked about her really difficult time…

Silhouettes of mother and sister

I have learned to adapt to these eyes since I was 3 months old. My mother told me that I was born as normal as any other child. When I turned 4 months, while my mother held me in her arms, she discovered a strange mark in my eye. However, at that time medicine had not yet developed, until the wound swelled up, I had to perform surgery to remove it. From then on, I learned to live with the dark…

I can’t distinguish blue or green, I’ve never seen my mother’s figure clearly. All I know is that she is a woman with a lot of love. I grew up in a rural area in Binh Dinh province, where there was no special school for kids like me. When the back-to-school season came, my mother went up and down so that I could study at the elementary school near my house, where I could sit with friends with normal eyes.

Mother is also a person of great patience. Because of my eye defect, I have never been able to draw a straight line. The house is not well off, the books are expensive, but my mother still invests and buys a lot of books for me to practice drawing. Gradually, from being the slowest student in the class, I could remember all the numbers and letters.

I have a twin sister. In my childhood days, she was the one who drove me to school, guided me through the sunny corridors, held my hand and walked across the classroom door… Every day, she read the lessons for me to copy, patiently when I stopped by. Close your eyes to the book, smoothing out the first word.

Self-pity? Yes! I used to cry and get angry when I couldn’t do as many things as you guys. I can’t jump rope, read books very slowly, I need someone to guide me everywhere I go… However, I never give up, turning difficulties into efforts.

Because I have to keep my eyes on the book, I read very slowly. Because I read slowly, I read very carefully. In 11th grade, I mustered up the courage to raise my hand to apply for the History team. That year, I received an award from the province. But for me, the effort day and night, removing the guilt is the most brilliant medal in life.

Entering the University

After finishing primary school, secondary school, high school, and then going to university, all the children in my district are like that. But for me, it is a journey of trying, with tears and happy smiles. My parents didn’t want me to go to Ho Chi Minh City to study at university. Because, how can parents feel secure when they let their 18-year-old daughter go to the city alone.

Stepping through the threshold of high school, me and my sister are two separate paths. Without my sister, who will drive me to school, read my writing, who will be patient with my slow steps. What major can I study, and then how can I apply for a job? Hundreds of questions surrounded me, making me seem to falter. One day, the teacher called me and said: “Should I apply to the Faculty of Special Education of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education?”. Later, you can teach children like you, letting them know that life will be full of miracles, even though their eyes can only see darkness. And most of all, if I don’t step on the threshold of University, I will forever become a burden to my parents.

With those limited eyes, Nhi still goes to school by herself every day

Finally, I decided to fill in the profile of the University of Pedagogy of Ho Chi Minh City. That year, I was accepted.

Thanks to an acquaintance, I applied for a shelter in Ho Chi Minh City to stay. The first time they brought me here, my parents were surprised and teary-eyed. Here, there are children who are blind in both eyes, they walk with limp feet but always have smiles on their lips. My parents stood there, witnessed and decided to let me stay.

Sister (nun-PV) was the one who helped me take the first steps, letting me get used to the streets, roads, and turns from school to home. At first, I didn’t even dare to sleep on the bus, afraid of missing the station and not knowing the way back. Gradually, everything really got into place…

At home, I have made many friends. We consider each other as a family. We have never let physical defects be a limitation. When I drop something and want to go to the bathroom, I will do it myself. We have never seen each other as disabled.

20 years of living with those eyes covered by darkness, I have experienced guilt and regret to constantly rise.
