>>>>> by TODD FINKELMEYER
>>>>> ...[Tim] Cordes has been reticent to share his story, not wanting to
>>>>> become a poster boy for overcoming visual disabilities. But he's
>>>>> slowly becoming more at ease telling his inspirational tale...
>>>>> ...Cordes was valedictorian of his class at the University of Notre
>>>>> Dame in 1998, posting a 3.99 GPA while earning an undergraduate
>>>>> degree in biochemistry and conducting research on antibiotics. He
>>>>> then was accepted into the UW School of Medicine and Public
>>>>> Health's medical scientist training program, completing the
>>>>> 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."...
