I asked Sarah, "Do you feel harmonious with the world?" She answered, "Yes, I have never felt more in harmony with the planet then I do now. After living in Spain and making friends with young Spaniards, who thought it was amazing that a blind American girl would come over to Spain to finish high school, I have more confidence than ever before.
