With the above information as background, several individuals-including an Adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State (when I was at an event with her in April of this year)-have told me in no uncertain terms that I should attend college; however, the prospect of being extremely overwhelmed at college really scares me, and I'm apprehensive beyond belief. The State Rehab agency in Missouri will pay for my attendance to college if I take a full load of classes and maintain, I believe, a 2.0 GPA (doing these two things is frightening!) Without getting into too much detail on-list, I deal quite a bit with mental health issues, which I fear may compound any difficulties I may have at college and thus prevent me from achieving success. Whenever anyone brings up the idea of attending college, I brush it off, usually-but it was brought up again yesterday, so I thought I'd explore this a bit more and solicit input from people who may be able--through dialogue--to ease my fears. Please feel free to write me at: cory.j.mcmahon at gmail.com to provide input. Thank-you in advance for any advice, etc. you may have regarding what I've addressed above.

This gives those interested in attending the ability to arrange their schedule to be able to attend. Cory McMahon ----- Original Message ----- From: Orlowski, Todd P.
