MightyMouse Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I wrote about this in another topic, but I thougth I'd share that something good did happen today. I was approved for disability service accomodation at Temple University for "absences due to medical necessity." It makes it clear to my profs that they may not doc my grades for absences from class (although it's clear that i am still obligated to keep up with all my work). At some point I may also request extended time for projects, but for right now, I'm just proud that I didn't let my fear of the unknown stop me from asking for help.'night everyone.

corina Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hi Nina,I'm very proud of you, that you did this! I know how difficult it is to ask for help, because you never know what to expect. It always makes me feel extra vulnerable, asking others for help. Well done ,Corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn202 Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 That wonderful Nina! You are a very strong dedicated person.... you will get through all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 That's wonderful! Maybe you can get special accommodations where you work--is it possible that you can work at home a few hours a day or week--maybe use that time to do paperwork, reports, etc. My employer (government) let me work at home 3 days a week...what a blessing that was.Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm glad you are able to get some of the help you so much need and deserve! I hope it will ease your burden and give you some peace so you don't have to deal with that kind of stress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 good job nina!i KNOW how tough it is to have to acknowledge your limitations & ask for help. i feel like it's a lesson i'm having thrown in my face daily right now & it's not a little thing.so...congrats. it's obviously not going to solve everything (wouldn't that be nice?) but hopefully it will ease your mind at least a little bit. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
