Christine was born premature and was in hospital for 40 days. When she was 4 months old her family noticed she did not focus on objects of people. Her vision is impaired and she can only make out rough shapes and light / dark shades.
Christine started school when she was 6 and started to learn to read using Braille books. She also writes using the grid Lyka showed us yesterday. If she makes a mistake she has to rewrite the whole line as she cannot erase a bump on the page.
Christine is now in Grade 8 and her dream is to be a music teacher.
Some students in the class have met Christine and heard her perform on the piano. They said she is very talented.
