Amanda Kong Hwei Zhen, 21, was born blind but that does not stop her from rising to be a high-achiever in life.

Kong was born with congenital glaucoma which resulted in visual impairment. She underwent a couple of operations during childhood to remove cataract and drain fluid from both eyes to keep intraocular pressure in check.
