About
I attend the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and have a major in chemistry pre-optometry. There isn't much to say about my personal life but one thing many say stand out is my reason for being interested in optometry. Ever since i was born a condition called Nystagmus had made my vision be somewhat messed up. This condition makes my eyes shake violently and rapidly side to side at random moments without my control. This however doesn't affect my vision, what it does do is mess up my depth perception slightly. Since the 6th grade when a teacher had passed out book of professions and their earnings i had been interested in learning more about the human eye due to the curiosity of my condition. That and a couple of numbers.
