COLLEYVILLE, Texas — A 5th grader in Colleyville has an entirely new view of the world today. And, also thanks to hisWhen Jaron Casillas was very young, his parents discovered that he saw the world a bit differently: a Texas sunrise for example.
Jaron, they discovered that day, is color blind. Purples, greens and blues, for example, he sees as just different shades of gray.in Colleyville, his teacher and classmates were talking about their favorite colors. Jaron revealed to them that certain colors were difficult for him to distinguish: that he just sees the world differently. His teacher asked if he knew about special glasses that could help. Jaron said yes, but that he understood that they were expensive.
But then, an impromptu recess allowed Jaron to try the second pair of glasses, a darker pair, designed to compensate for bright sunlight."It's very exciting," she said."That smile won't come off his face he's got a huge smile." "I think he sees a sense of what true friendship is and caring people around him, and I hope he just carries this with him and he remembers this day for a long time."
