Jack Marshall, a blind man from Stoke-on-Trent who has moderate hearing loss has recently picked up his degree certificate in Computer Science and Music Production at Keele University’s winter graduation ceremony and hopes that his story of going through mainstream and specialist education will help to inspire other blind and partially sighted people to achieve their goals in life.
When Jack was born he was diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity and also has some moderate hearing loss too. He went through mainstream education up to A-levels, then went on to the Royal National College for the Blind, where he got into computers and music which encouraged him to go on to Keele University to study Computer Science and Music Production.
Jack explains to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey about how he wants to use his story and experiences of going through education and graduating with his degree to encourage other blind and partially sighted people to not let barriers get in the way of achieving their goals in life whatever that might be.
