What colour is your new dress? What is your favourite colour? Billy’s favourite colour is orange. But to be different from us, he cannot see what orange looks like. Billy is a lovely but blind boy.

A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes were not quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to see the doctor, unluckily the doctor told her, “I am really sorry but Billy would never be able to see.”

After that Billy’s mother began talking to him, describing things she saw. She told him what she was cooking, or what she saw outside the window. She described everything to him.

Billy does not only depend on his mother’s descriptions to learn about the world around him. He sees with his ears and his hands, too. He has perfect hearing. When people make phone calls, he can tell the numbers they dial.

“He is very confident and his disability does not stop him from being an important part of his class.” his teacher said. “The students love him and he is just one of them.”

Billy loves computer science. He began teaching himself computer programming when he was just seven years old. His dream school would be Stanford University. He gets top grades, making that a real possibility.

“You cannot let excuses get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that you cannot move forward and reach your goals,” said Billy.
