At work, Pedro expertly teaches other blind individuals the skill sets they need to lead a life with vision loss (e.g. using a cane, reading in Braille). In spite of that, Pedro tells his boss that he often feels unworthy of the opportunities he has received in life. Looking back at his life, Pedro reflects on his goals as a young student, and how he is now living a version of that, in spite of the uncertainties.
