Overcoming sight loss to become a teacher

Megan Callaghan has battled visual impairment as she pursues a career in teaching.
She is in her second year at St. Angela's College, studying Home Economics and Gaeilge Teacher Education.
Her grá for Gaeilge was obvious throughout all of secondary school but living with a visual impairment meant that learning was always a challenge, often not being able to see her classroom board.
But this didn't stop her from pursuing a teaching career, something she feels privileged to do, educating and inspiring future generations.
It was when she began her college journey in Sligo at St Angela's College that Megan learned about the Gerard Byrne Bursary Award offered by the National Council for the Blind Ireland to only a few students each year who went through school with a visual impairment and who have overcome significant challenges.
