Music Tech Alumni of the Month: Justin"Wolf" Bonds -"Class of 2015"

My name is Justin I'm 20 year old now. I'm an aspiring singer/songwriter, actor, dancer and rapper who is visually impaired. I currently work 2 jobs, one of which I'm a clown and children's entertainer. I was a manager at McDonald's where I got Braille menus for visually impaired customers.

At the age of 9 I was diagnosed with neural fibro mitosis and optic glioma. I have multiple tumors on my brain that lean on my optic nerve that causes my vision to be impaired. I underwent six months of chemotherapy to stop any further damage to the optic nerve. I'm not with an organization called Eyes like Mine with other inspired visually impaired individuals such as myself that host events such as dancing with the Blind and the Miss blind Diva pageant. Proving that blind people can do as much as anyone else. I don't let my vision hold me back from what I want to do. I'm always on the look for the next adventure. The way I move you couldn't tell I'm blind. If you're ever looking for me look for the one on the skateboard.
