When Molly was 4 years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa. It’s a disease that causes people to have no eyesight. But even though this happened to her, she faced all the hardships and obstacles that came into her life. She began to bring light into other people’s life. Her life story has started to inspire people everywhere. As she started to lose more of her eyesight, this just made her optimism and strength bigger. As a student, she was bullied for being blind. She became depressed and had mental illness, but she overcame her problems, and she gave people courage and hope. Molly believes that we get more strength by telling other people our story and by other people telling us their stories. This is why she lives by the motto... live, learn and pass it on.
