Like many college students, I'm quite busy. I take part in several activities, which keep me on my toes. It's not as if I don't simply focus solely on homework. I think I'd drive myself crazy if I only focused a lot of my college life doing nothing but schoolwork. I'd like to get the complete college experience- doing schoolwork, going to classes, making friends, and taking part in activities that I really enjoy.
Unfortunately, having such a challenging disability has made getting the full college experience quite difficult- getting the full experience of living on campus, as a result of the hurtles my multitude of disabilities hands me quite often- hasn't been the least bit easy for me. I realize that I might not be the only student with a disability who feels this way; however, I feel that I am the only student who has the courage to stand up and express my true feelings about having this experience.

My Interesting Life As a Student
- Nico Echols
- Springfield, Illinois, United States
- I'm living in Springfield, but I'm originally from Chicago. I am now living in a group home for people who are visually impaired. Living at the Mary Bryant Home has been a huge step in my life. I am now able to get involved in activities every day. I am making lots of new friends, and I'm enjoying living with my new family. Since I'm the youngest person, I feel like I have lots of parents and grandparents, and even my best friend, who is like a big sister, to spend my time with. I don't think I'd change this for anything else in the world.
