[nabs-l] Frustrated with school!

Sat Sep 1 01:38:33 UTC 2012

Hi Bryce,

I couldn't have said it better myself! We've only just finished the first
week of my freshmen year in high school, and already I'm finding that what
you say here is so true!

Joshua,

Your inability to be flexible is hurting you. Why can't you download the
book as an etext file and read with your screen reader? It might not be your
preference, but you need to pass the class. You have various options for
doing so but you will never succeed if you aren't willing to think
creatively and problem solve to find a solution that let's you get your work
done..

This applies to everything, not just schoolwork. You must learn to control
the problem and not let the problem control you.
