and i ve been fortunate enough where a lot of the instructors are trying to be accommodating. instructors like that are necessary for people like me. the original diagnosis was ptsd. tbi. i had to have neck fusion. and there was damage to the light receptors in my eye. and the best course of action is unfortunately to wear sunglasses. growing up out in west texas, i gave up a scholarship for some major colleges to go into the military because i didn t think i was college material. to me going back to school is a chance to start something new. all right. this chapter is about academic argument, which is kind of the core of this class.
