I think that it's interesting to share my experiences of trying to successfully make it through college. Using this blog, I am able to share my stories of things I like and how college has been such a big change for me- especially going to a college away from home and trying to live independently. Most people would probably think that college has a lot more freedom than high school. For me, as a result of the disabilities I have- I disagree.
It seems crazy for me to have to start all over as a "new" college student, but that's what happened when I decided to transfer from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois to UIS here in Springfield, Illinois. It has been a major milestone in my life- one my parents were a bit nervous about at first- probably because of the challenges me disability hands me each day.

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.
