Living Blind: A day in the life of Chris Wright 

This is my grandson,, Chris. I'm very proud of you! What a great job you did on this video. I'm just beaming with pride!

thank you all remarks. It means so much to me that my son is making a big impact on so many lives. we just tried to raise him as if nothing would ever hold him back from what he wanted to do in life

Nothing makes me cry more than thinking about the blind of our society. I remember going to work early in the morning around 6 am years ago and seeing a blind lady that was ALWAYS there, I assume going to work, and struggling like the rest of us, using her cane and navigating her environment. Around that time I was very discontent with my life feeling sorry for myself, but when i saw her EVERY day doing the same thing I was doing, going to work out of sheer necessity, without the miraculous gift and privilege of sight, it made me weep like a baby when i was by myself in my room thinking about her and others in her situation. It's still hard to take. May the good lord bless their souls!

I am around chris just about everyday i work at winslow dinning hall he is such a inspiration on everybody. He amazes me on the way he handles life from day to day. And i always ask him about his day n tell him to keep his head up and be strong...thanks chris for being a inspiration on me n reminding me anybody can do anything as long as you keep ur head up n keep going.....doug smitley....

Very inspiring. I am a recently blinded woman in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and a writer, author, sailboat racer, and a musician, and I do everything I did before I lost my eyesight.

Young adults like this has a big pleace in my heart.May God always bless them.

Thank you, Gale! We appreciate Chris taking the time to tell us a bit of his story, and we're very proud of the way this video turned out.

Wow this is heartbreaking to know about a person who’s freedom of the gift of life is degraded let alone being a person who is blind. I commend Chris for his courage and endurance.

I was born about 3 months too early and I weighed 2.2lbs in 1968. I was in an incubator for two months and had open heart surgery when I was two years old. We are both lucky to be alive, you and me, Chris! I am legally blind. 20/200 and 20/400. I'm 48 now. I went to college too at LA Tech. In Ruston, LA, the same town as LA TECH, they have a wonderful Center for the Blind there and I attended their 6 month program. I learned how to use a white cane, read Braille, orientation and mobility classes, computer classes using JAWS, and basic independence and life skills. I highly recommend LA Center for the Blind. We are lucky to be alive right now, with all of this great technology that helps us. My retinas didn't develop fully, nor in the correct location in my eyes, so I am suffering from exotropia (outward turned eyes -- strabismus) and also a severe nystagmus. Recently my vitreous liquid in my left eye is detaching and I am losing the little sight I have in that eye. This is a common thing for people with Retinopathy of Prematurity to possibly experience in their 40's- 50's, so I'm right on schedule apparently, hahaha. Good Luck to you, Chris! PS-- are you a member of the National Federation of the Blind? I am, they were a huge help to me all of my life.

I have a fellow at my university who is blind and can't walk. He's super helpful. He assists people in English and their essays. He's so great.

So much respect! He’s so positive as well. So inspirational as well!

A truly amazing video on an inspiring man. Chris has empowered me to live life to the fullest and never give up no matter what. I wish him a life long and full of happiness. And one day a lucky individual will get the honor of marrying an authentic human being that is Chris.

Hi Chris and Gale. Your video helps to take the fear out of the unknown for those who may be losing their sight. Hope your graduation went well and you're following your career dreams...😊 from the UK

“If i can give back,” ugh he’s amazing.

This guy's awesome! Keep up the great work Chris! ☺️

Our prayers are with those who live with blindness.

What a sweet young man. I wish him all the best.

This is a wonderful video. Thanks for producing it. Attaboy!

Hi, Chris hope to hear more update in your progress in your life ! Great video.

This was a real eye opener to see

This made me emotiona. He seems like a such a nice guy!

All the best Chris... you ARE an inspiration...

I understand what he's going through. I am also blind and college is really hard, any where from getting around campus or getting my books in audio. My college has a great disability center and they are so helpful.

My twin brother Justin was born blind too. He has caregivers that come over on Wednesdays through Sundays and they help him bathe and they make him lunch. He can play piano and beatbox (:

Hello from Singapore 🇸🇬 you are an inspiration. Take care and lots of love.

happy new year Chris!

He is amazing. I wish him the best :)

Sending Love from Nigeria & Africa! Disability to me isn’t physical but a state of mind!!! Billions of people have vision yet a degenerate mind. His oneness in mind will see him outlive a lot of people with so called vision yet with duality in their minds!!! You rock!!!

Wow great inspiration Smart boy!

I had to stop watching , because my heart can't Handel it! God bless you! You are so much smarter and better than anybody !

What a geniunely great person.

What an incredible inspiration of human strength and capabilities! Love him. He is truly an inspiration for me I have glaucoma He’s so incredible

God bless you, Chris!

What a cool guy! Keep rocking it Chris!

Amazing God is good to Chris ❤

God's blessings on you Chris.❤💎👑

pray for those who is blind (:

PS: I do not understand why anyone would thumbs down / down-vote this video!!!!

Amazing!

God bless him.

respect

I am not blind yet but it is going that way. My left eye is mostly blind and my right eye might follow soon (glaucoma that is being treatment resistant) it is nice to see others coping without sight.

Well that's a deeply sad life.... Hopefully they can fix that one day..

I had a dream that I think I was blind and I could only see colors, but not the actual image so someone had to help me move around. I could distinguish light and dark colors. I wonder if that' s how actually being blind is like.

I love you brother cod bless you

I feel so bad

Exact reason i have vision loss too, though I still have usable vision.

Hello I just recently lost part of my vision in October in now carry low vision I was interested in attending some sort of line college ring do you have any suggestions on how to begin that process? Thanks again for the support and inspiration

Hi.]

Did you ever ask is he could see his dreams

My name is Jeffery Brian Bahry. I am a long term victim of high technology electronic weapons attacks. These same weapons ( NSA Remote Neural Monitoring ) can easily restore Sight for the Blind and Sound for the Deaf.

How do you have a show about accessibility but you do not add captioning in that kind of one fighted

Why is he wearing a watch?

The longest six minutes of my life I don't even know why I tapped on this video

I don't understand why god makes blind people suffer so much? All of them are being born innocent? Why they deserve this?

He has a wrist watch, does he ask other people what it says?

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What do u see in dark...haha..poor man🤣

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

0:25 "I love reading" (not making fun of it, I'm just a really emotionless person who doesn't understand life yet and likes to make fun of everything)

Can he just fix this with surgery??
