[Faith-talk] Shikha: classes

Sun Sep 4 19:32:15 UTC 2016

Hi Shikha,
I will be praying for you as well to do well in school. When I went to 
college, it took me longer to study and to do all of the work because I was 
blind. It just takes longer to do the job, but the results are still the 
same. I think a blind person can do much better, because we have to remember 
and work with the material more than a sighted person does. We can't just 
flip through a textbook and high light what we want to cram into our mind 
right before a test. We have to prepare more and plan more.
Take care,
David Moore

I will pray for everyone on this email  list!
Please pray for me too since all of my core classes are challenging but
manageable.
Please be kind to everyone!

Shikha.
