The person under the director for ODS said the thing that will probably happen is I will receive an Incomplete for the class. Because if the prof fails me, ODS will veto the decision and make him give me an I. that will mean that I will be working my butt off over winter break so I can take my composition class next semester!

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
