How exciting for you! Be sure that your Health Center is aware of your condition, and be sure and talk to the Disability Services Coordinator at your college - they will be able to make special accomodations for you to get to and from classes (you may be able to get "shuttle" service from your dorm to the buildings where you have classes, or maybe even a tricked-out moped or scooter), as well as working with your professors to let them know that there may be times when you are too tired to make it to class (this is ESPECIALLY important when it comes to tests and homework). If you have a car on campus, I hope you already have a handicapped sticker; if not, don't be shy about asking for one - you definitely will need it!

Fortunately, you have the Internet and you may even be able to get something set up so that if you are unable to make it to class you can still watch the lectures and/or get a video copy sent to you to watch in your dorm room. There are some classes where "being there" for the lecture is such an important part of understanding what the professor is trying to get across. With a "disability" such as MG, this equipment should be covered by the school as part of your tuition.

Don't be afraid to talk to each of your professors/TA's at the beginning of each semester so that they can work with you to get your classwork turned in, as well as making sure that you are able to make up work if you are not able to get it done due to your MG (obviously, you don't want to "take advantage" of the situation, but if they see that you are serious about your studies, they will work with you). I always tell my daughters that the professors don't know that you are having problems unless you talk to them; otherwise, they assume that everything is OK.

And you will find that other kids on campus will be understanding if you aren't able to participate in everything - I know that it is hard for you, but you will find ways to fit in, and you will also find other students who will be there to look out for you and who will see you for yourself. Your MG will just be another "part" of who you are, and most of the new friends that you make will just accept it and get on with things (and they'll really appreciate having a friend who can park close in - you may find that you are VERY popular, especially on cold and/or wet days.....).

Good luck, sweetie - this is such an exciting time in your life!

P.S. What college are you attending?
