calmom, I am blind in my left eye and deaf in my left ear. I need things like transparencies printed out and basically no super small writing or bad writing on boards because I can’t read them. Also with the deafness I basically need for there not to be a lot of discussion going on at the same time or I wont be able to hear what’s going on.

Also sometimes when there’s too much going on in my life I tend to kind of panic so I need to be able to ask a teacher for a short extension on big assignments maybe once a semester while I get through the rough week and find my head again. (this is a documented disability, major depression, ptsd)

As far as my future earning capacity so long as I get in a place where people aren’t purposely nasty and rude, I work just fine. I’ve had 1-2 jobs where I had guys make jokes out of my deafness in my left ear and I didn’t last there long and one nursing assistant job where the nurse chewed my ass out every day even though I was getting ALL of my work done and working myself into the ground, so I kinda couldn’t take that forever… but otherwise, work is fine for me. :)
