> I'd like to major in social work, and I'm starting at SIUE (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) in the fall of 2025. I was very back and forth for the longest time at where I wanted to go. It was between Illinois State and SIUE. I knew both universities are great, and I toured both of their access offices as well.

> I will go out in the summer of 2025. I will keep you all updated on how everything is going. 
> So far I have taken Communications 101, English 101, Psychology 101, and Sociology 101. I am registered for three online classes in Spring semester and 1 in-person class. 
> I am very happy to be a part of this community of Illinois blind students and to be able to share each others successes / concerns. That's what we're all here for. :-) I am also Catholic as well. I was baptized at 3 months old.
