From Boiler Room to NASA Internship - Moving On With RP
Craig Roisum is a 36-year-old Minnesota man who has faced many changes after his vision began to decline ten years ago due to retinitis pigmentosa.
According to the Star Tribune, "... after completing a Minneapolis school to teach blind people job and life skills, Roisum has a scholarship to study civil engineering at the University of Minnesota, will intern next summer at NASA, and is a more optimistic and happy person -- and dad."
Congratulations, Craig!
Roisum started to notice it was harder for his eyes to adjust to the darkened boiler rooms in which he usually worked. He also was losing pencils or tools he knew he had set down right in front of him. There were a few embarrassing moments, such as when he mistook a woman's belly for an elevator button.
