Awesome Experience: A3I is an accelerator for startups that develop technology to improve the lives of people with disabilities. My biggest goal in life is to improve the lives of people living with disabilities in some way, and it has been amazing to meet so many driven entrepreneurs that share my passion. Through my internship, I had the chance to meet Shay Rishoni, an amazing entrepreneur that has been completely paralyzed by ALS. He speaks with his eye gaze using assistive technology, and has helped make strides toward finding a cure for ALS. Seeing how assistive technology can give people like Shay the opportunity to feel human again has made me even more excited to pursue my passion.
