CALGARY (CP) — Memories of
his first trying days at the University
of Calgary remain vivid in Shabudin
Hussein's mind five years later.

“tit_was_teally bad;. mobility was a
challenge just in itself," says Hus:
sein, who is blind.

“For two weeks it was like some
one had thrown me into a maze; I
was trying to figure some way out of
that maze."*

But Hussein persevered — and in
April he'll become only the third
totally blind student to receive a de
gree from the university, the first in
computer science.

Hussein compteted-his-studies~in
December and ‘the future beckons.
He'll begin a full-time job as a
computer programmer at Petro-Can-
a later this month

Hussein hopes he will be an exam-
ple to.othr disabled persons. ‘If Lcan
do it, -they can do it," he said

Now 31, he was left blind after
suffering retina detachments in both
eyes shortly after graduating from
high school in Tanzania in 1971

Hussein, who had dreamed of a
career in law, was despondent and
stayed at home learning Braille until
he joined his brother in'Canada

After completing a 10-month com-
puting science course for the blind in
Winnipeg, he found employers were
looking for higher qualifications
