Description: "Have you ever wondered if you should play it safe in life or take a chance and follow your heart? If so, this book is for you. After losing 90% of her eyesight at age eight, Nancy wondered how her lifelong dream of becoming a teacher could possibly come true. It seemed hopeless. Read how Nancy was able to transform her thoughts of giving up, her anger, and her near self-destructive teenage rebellion into actions of winning. "It's not the eyesight that determines one's success, " Nancy tells us, "its the vision." But her story doesn't end there. After living her dream as a teacher in the public schools for over eleven years, a second life-altering challenge [diabetes] invaded Nancy's life - a challenge that she would transform into even greater success. [This book] is the story of one woman's triumphant success in dealing with seemingly insurmountable obstacles."--Back cover.
