[Wasif, Zunaira]

Navigating the convention center is tricky because its huge and there are a lot of crouds.  I sort of figure it out as I go.

First thing's first, applying for scholarship... no, I have no usable vision, I can see light but that's it. Navigation, I usually have people push me around, it's faster, but I can do it myself.
