Way to go Ali! It is so great and refreshing to see such determination. I hope that your story keeps me motivated to continue my classes as well. I re-start classes Aug. 24, I know I can make it, b/c I just finished my economics class last week, and the whole time I was "fighting" with my leg. It was hard, but when I found out that I not only got an A in the course, but I aced my final as well.... puts a little smirk on my face kinda like "see...i KNEW i could do it!" Hope all goes well for you, and as many of the others have said, those "friends" of yours at school who make the rude comments, they ain't your friends. Your true friends are always around and will never laugh at you...though they always laugh with you.
