Stories from Those of Us for Whom
School Means Overcoming ChallengeLearning is an extension of ourselves. Knowledge, like any other tool humans have learned to adapt, gives us a sense of power, of being able to move beyong the limitations of our daily lives. That power really matters when we feel limited by illness, injury, infirmities we cannot control. Knowledge lets us shrivel the limitations to manageable proportions. And so school, for some of us, is a place of refuge, of renewal, of hope.
This section of our site, Challenge, is for the sharing of our stories and experiences. We hope that it will help us discover that none of us is alone, and that all of us are integral members of the academic community without whom it cannot grow to its real potential.
Four Dear Habermas research assistants began the section this semester as part of their project in describing the story of one of us who has been struggling with acute illness. We are working at putting the section together, but jeanne has learned that if we put things off until they're polished, we often put them off forever. So we invite you to share with us and help us develop Staying in School with Diabetes.
