Live With No Regrets

Today on BYU TV there was a show on a girl named Burgon Jensen. She was born with retinitis pigmentosa, and was blind by the time she was three months old. By the time she was five she started to lose her hearing too. However, she did not let this hold her back at all.

Burgon was enrolled in “mainstream” (public) school, where she attended normal classes with everyone else. She has learned Braille and American Sign Language. That’s not all though. She also performed (singing and dancing) in a play, has traveled across town alone, and so much more. I love her motto: “Live With No Regrets.” She is such an inspiration with how resilient she has been. There is a great article about her here.

Love,

Chelsey
