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 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.
