Although Monica perceives her strength as just being a mother who loves her child without conditions, it may appear powerful to others since she is standing by her son. The remarkable thing about Monica is that she naturally connects with her blind son, even though she is blind herself. She has lived a lifetime surrounded by close, blind loved ones, which informs this.
Monica’s brother, Eric, is also blind, and in a previous interview, Monica shared how growing up with him had a profound impact on her perspective. She mentioned that her compassion and sensitivity were heightened due to her brother’s blindness, as she spent time teaching and learning from him. Monica expressed how these experiences allowed her to see life from a different perspective, emphasizing the importance of patience, especially in activities like volunteering at programs such as ‘The Braille Institute.’
“The way I grew up is just a little bit different than everybody else, because my brother was born blind. So my perception on the world and things is just a little bit different. … My compassion and my sensitivity are heightened because of my brother’s blindness…and spending a lot of time with him. And you know, teaching him things that I’ve learned…and then vice versa somewhat.
Me spending time with him at his programs…like ‘The Braille Institute’…just different little things. So I got a chance to experience life on a different level. Patience in watching these people that volunteer to work with children that have some sort of impairment..to teach them how to water ski or whatever the activity was.” [Monica says she learned how to have that same type of patience].”
