JaneEyre9 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 That's wonderful, Persephone! You've really triumphed over some tough circumstances. It sounds like your school recognized that fact in your letter. You're really lucky that you had the ability to push your way through graduate school, since that's not always possible with dysautonomia. I was in the middle of my graduate program when the bottom fell out, and even though i tried with all my heart, my body wouldn't let me go on. I was fortunate that my classes and experiments were over because i couldn't do any of that, even with special considerations. It took me an extra year to finally get my paper turned in to graduate, and then i had to stop my research indefinitely. I'm glad this wasn't the case for you!! As a one-time grad student, I really appreciate your great success and accomplishment! Congrats!Kristen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
