Dear Sundar and the rest!
I hope you are doing well.
Here in Sweden (Gothenburg) we had a lot of snow today. But it quickly melts
away. You asked what I am up to. I am a student to become a psychologist so I
hope not to face the same kind of problems as you. In Sweden quite a few
visually impaired work as different kind of councelors, psychologists etc. I
dont know really what obsticles I will face in my future carrier. I have 4 more
years to go so I dont worry yet :).

Best Reg
Asa
