>> ...[Tim] Cordes has been reticent to share his story, not wanting to

>> slowly becoming more at ease telling his inspirational tale...
>> ...Cordes was valedictorian of his class at the University of Notre

>> then was accepted into the UW School of Medicine and Public

>> notoriously challenging sequence that requires a student to finish
>> both medical school and a Ph.D.-level research program...
>> ..Despite these made-for-the-big-screen qualities to his life,
>> Cordes remains leery of being put on a pedestal: "I look forward to
>> a world where people with disabilities do what they can and what
>> they want, and it's not exciting or it's not different."...
