I have this hilarious/sad story about playing hide-and-seek with my dad (who is blind) when I was a baby. I was maybe 9 months old and I decided to hide under a shelf for some reason and my dad was watching me while my mom and sister were out. I'm told he searched for quite a long time, calling my name and crawling around searching behind things, and I just stayed hidden. When my mom pulled into the driveway my dad came running outside and said "I can't find the baby!" and they all went back into the house and there I was, right by the door under my shelf looking apparently quite amused with myself.

You have such a positive outlook! Even when you're talking about being bullied, your perspective is so optimistic. It's nice to hear someone laughing about problems they've had or obstacles they've faced instead of just complaining complaining complaining ;) Thank you for your videos!

I went to normal schools too, although my parents wanted me to go to a special school for the blind, but I refused.  My teachers had to get my books in large print format, and these books were HUGE!  They were sometimes as large as 2 by 3 feet!  I was able to read them, because I was nearsighted and I never had to learn Braille, not until I was in my 30's.  I can still read printed type, but I have to use very strong reading glasses and magnifying lenses.  I'm glad I went to regular schools, but I too got picked on.  Kids are mean!!

You are awesome Tommy! 

I just wanted to say that some people here like to say things such as "Oh man, I feel bad for you", or "man, I am lucky I wasnt blind". All I can say is, this world is not too cracked up to be. Half the people on this world are actually blind, and I don't mean literally. To those who actually open up their eyes, they would see the horrors of this world. Such as Syria, Burma, China, etc. You see the world as beautiful as it can be, and you make this world beautiful. Keep up the great work buddy!

I've grown up with a blind kid named Logan Spanks in the same class since kindergarten. He is one of the more intelligent people I have met, and his humor is exactly like this guy's! xD
