We place too much emphasis on independence at work and in society. I thought independence was the key to success, and as a 19-year-old sophomore in college, I had recently gained independence and was living the dream. I suddenly became legally blind in a matter of months and lost my independence and self-worth. I feared I would be dependent on others the rest of my life. As I regained my independence as a newly legally blind individual, I started to see the power of interdependence. At age 20, with my Dad as my guide, we won the World Blind Golf Championship. We've gone on to win 3 World and 8 National Blind Golf Championships together.
