Molly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four years old. Doctors said that she had a
rare eye disease that would gradually take away her vision. In first grade, she learned to read Braille, although she could
still see. Life was pretty normal for the next few years. However, in seventh grade, things got worse. Black turned to gray.

lose her vision, she started using a cane to help her walk. By age 14, Molly was completely blind. Her classmates soon

to Kenya to help build a school. While there, she spoke at a local girls' school. Molly now knew what she wanted to do
next-to help inspire people by being a speaker at Me to We. Molly began speaking at schools all over the United States and
