Legally blind Texas student defies the odds, gets accepted into veterinarian school: ‘Anything is possible’

Face Snap never let her blindness stop her from pursuing her dreams.

Snapp, a 22-year-old Texas native who is legally blind, has been accepted to Texas Tech University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, FOX26 Houston reported.

“My family has been raising horses and goats for as long as I can remember,” Snapp told the News Affiliate.

“I’ve always loved animals.”

Both Snap and his twin brother were born prematurely and had very limited vision.

Her right eye can only detect movement, but her left eye is better at distinguishing shapes, colors and large prints, the Fox affiliate said.

Her vision is “less than 10%.” She has always had trouble seeing far away.

Mr. Snapp has had a guide dog since he was in high school, but he has never felt that his disability is a limitation.

According to FOX 26, she belonged to several clubs in high school and also worked at a local veterinary hospital.

Her visual impairment may have been difficult at first, but she “needed” people to be there for her and support her dreams.

“I needed to find someone to help me, accommodation, and a place,” the 22-year-old student told the Texas police station.

“That was a little difficult because I think people often assume they have limitations and put limits on people with disabilities.”

Snapp begins classes in August and hopes to pursue a career as a mixed animal veterinarian, working with both large and small animals.

Snapp said it doesn’t matter what challenges a person is facing. People should never give up on their dreams.

“No matter who you are or what your situation is…anything is possible,” she said.

“I hope my story helps others understand that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.”
