## Resource

What does it take to step beyond comfort and truly build independence? In this episode of Blind Abilities, Louie McGee shares his journey from Minnesota to law school in Chicago, proving that curiosity—not perfection—is the real key to success. Born with Stargardt's, Louie doesn't just adapt—he explores. From completing a triathlon and rafting the Grand Canyon to studying abroad in London, he shows how asking questions and taking chances can open doors you didn't even know existed. For students beginning their academic journey, Louie offers a powerful message: your path isn't about having everything figured out—it's about being curious enough to try. Whether it's learning new technology, navigating a new city, or simply asking for help, every step forward builds confidence. This conversation is a reminder that independence isn't about doing everything alone—it's about discovering how to move through the world in your own way.
