OGDEN, Utah (AP) Antonio and Armand Berry are bonded by more than having grown together in the womb.
The brothers, both students at Weber State University, are high achievers academically and involved as volunteers in the community, the Standard-Examiner reports. They are also both legally blind.
“My brother and I, we developed a bond over the trials and tribulations of our experiences,” Antonio Berry said. “We’ve come a lot closer than I would go so far as to say normal siblings would due to the struggles he and I have had to face.”
