Help from ORS

Maybe, college isn't so bad after all. I mean, today was such a good day for me- so far. I learned that Rehabilitation Services will pay for my college education. In a funny way, I am so glad to have learned this news. My mom, once she gets my e-mail and phone message, will have also learned the good news. Knowing this makes me so happy. My mom will no longer have to try to pay two sets of college tuitions each year- mine and my brothers. Combined, that is a lot of money to try to put two kids through college at the same time.
Why am I just learning this now? It's interesting how I never really learned this information during the actuall application process. I am glad that I have finally learned this helpful information. Maybe, now- I'll be able to get all of the help that I have been advocating for since the very beginning of this school year. That would be so nice!

My Interesting Life As a Student

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.
