SWEETWATER, FLA. (WSVN) - A college graduate from Florida International University celebrated some outstanding achievements.
Students from Florida International University accepted their diplomas during a commencement ceremony on Tuesday and among them was Florela Francois.
Graduating with a 4.0 GPA, and a master’s degree in social work, Francois is blind.
Her goal is to provide therapy for people with disabilities, who she feels are under-represented.
“In the field especially, they don’t really advocate for people with disabilities, and I kind of want to make a difference for this population.”
Florela said she hopes to start working soon and help those who are also living with blindness.
