Thanks everyone!
Dave, that's a real good point. I'm going to take another look at it. This isn't for a disability scholarship, so I do need to think hard about including it.
It's within the context of a fairly long essay ... but perhaps taking that phrase about disability out would help? I just don't know.
It's for study outside the U.S., and for a school known to strive for inclusion, so I'm so torn.
I appreciate your input, all of you. I'll keep you updated!
