Dr. Carolyn Peters, chair of the OOD Council, and Dr. jw Smith, vice chair, discuss their personal journeys, talk about their involvement with OOD, and reflect on overcoming challenges.

“At first I was depressed about losing my vision. Then I was in denial,” Dr. Peters said. “I went through all those stages and finally realized there were some opportunities.”

Dr. Smith challenges listeners: “What are you going to do with the opportunities you have? What are you going to do with the challenges you’ve been presented? That’s what it really comes down to.”
