COOL
"Cool" - said the guy who I don`t even know at all but still. When I read Jess`s message I kind of felt emotional and a bit more important than usual.
During my life helping other people has been very important for me. Unfortunately, I was born with no speech and only have control over my eyes. Despite this, I am still a chatterbox and the centre of attention all the time.
I happened to upload a few videos of me using my tobii to youtube, because I felt like had to show the world how great power I have in my eyes. I thought that people would be amazed but they weren`t. I had no responses on my videos until a few days ago when Jess from the USA left me a message. I showed her the mytobiicommunity site where by then I became probably the most active member, helping everyone with their problems.
One morning Jess`s message waited for me. She had visited her friend who is a tobii user just as I am. She reckons that "it was really inspirational for him to see someone older than him using the device, and also quite cool ". If I only had a positive impact on Jess`s friend for this one occasion, I say it was worth it already.
Every time I think of this, I feel well appreciated again and again. Indescribable feeling...
