Blind and deaf teenage girl expresses her aspirations to her parents
In a heartwarming interview conducted by StoryCorps in New Orleans, 13-year-old Narjis Karimipour shared her dreams of becoming a marine biologist or dolphin trainer, despite her deafblind condition. The interview, which took place on an undisclosed date, was archived at the Library of Congress and provided by NPR.
Narjis' parents, Sarah Kassim and Mohammad Karimipour, find their daughter's strength and positive attitude inspiring. They communicate with her using a braille communication device, and her mother, Sarah, does not enter the water. Despite this, Narjis has already had the opportunity to swim with a dolphin named Bo.
The interview transcript, played against the backdrop of "Vittoro" by Blue Dot Sessions, reveals that Narjis became an avid reader after being introduced to her first real book. Her parents remember her as a smiling and optimistic baby, and they feel that their heart has opened to many things due to their experiences with her.
Narjis' parents are supportive of her aspirations, regardless of the specific career path she chooses. In fact, they are willing to swim with her if she becomes a marine biologist. The authoritative record of NPR's programming is the audio record, but the transcript may be updated or revised in the future.
While the available information about Narjis' journey is limited, it is clear that she is determined to overcome the challenges associated with her deafblind condition. Her ability to communicate her dreams and ambitions clearly to her family is a testament to her resilience and hope.
