My Online Final

It's a good thing I can take my math final online. I don't think I'd do well if I attempted to take it on paper. As much as my hand muscles are often affected by the cerebral palsy, trying to do all that writing would probably take longer than two hours, not to mention that my handwriting might not really be legible enough for the teacher to successfully be able to read the work I did for the problems, along with the answers. I know this from having the experience of teachers having difficulty reading my handwriting. I also know that, from taking the makeup 2nd midterm online, that I score better when it's on the computer- again, I think it's because of the challenges of living with cerebral palsy. Thankfully, my visual impairment isn't much of a major factor when I can take a test this way.

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.
