A school is an institution designed for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below), but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught, is commonly called a university college or university.
In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary and secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be available after secondary school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.
At First Sight is a 1999 American film starring Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino, based on the essay To See and Not to See in neurologist Oliver Sacks' book An Anthropologist on Mars and inspired by the true life story of Shirl Jennings.
Amy Benic (Mira Sorvino) takes a break from working as an architect at a spa in Pinecrest, a small town outside New York City. Virgil Adamson (Val Kilmer) is a masseur at the spa and gives Amy a massage. Amy breaks down and cries, later falling asleep as Virgil leaves the room. When she wakes up, she runs after him to compliment the massage, only to realize that Virgil is blind. Virgil asks her out, and the two eventually fall in love and begin a relationship.
Virgil lives alone, though his over-protective sister, Jennie (Kelly McGillis), who lives next door, takes care of him. During an intimate session with Amy, Virgil reveals that he went blind when he was three and that the last thing he saw was something fluffy. Amy describes the horizon to Virgil as something that you "can see but can never reach."

Genres: Crime,I try to ignore you and not to adore you
And shout from the skies that I wanna just hold you
But I feel afraid that you’ll think I’m just foolish
And laugh til the tears start to roll down our faces
But will you give me a shoulder to lean on?
And will you give me a shoulder to lean on?
cos I can’t keep up my head with just two
I try to convince you she’s not that essential
It’s just cos you want undivided attention
So I grow impatient to know how you’re feeling
I won’t be content til you show me you mean it
But will you give me a shoulder to lean on?
And will you give me a shoulder to lean on?
cos I can’t keep up my head with just two
I try to ignore you and not to adore you
And shout from the skies that I wanna just hold you
But will you give me a shoulder to lean on?
And will you give me a shoulder to lean on?
