Who's the Teacher
Last week, I had a situation with a professor that reminded me that noone is perfect, and some people aren't as aware as others that being blind doesn't make you unable to function as well as anyone else in the world. I was taking a history test, and I found out that we were allowed to use our notes for it. The prof had never mentioned it in class, but I figured he had forgotten. This was kind of annoying since I didnt bring my notes with me. Why would I have? Anyway, I found out later that noone else had been allowed to use them. At first, I was pretty insulted. It seemed kind of messed up that even after meeting me, someone would feel that I didn't have the intelligense it takes to properly prepare and study for a test that everyone else had to take with no extra advantages. However, after thinking it over, I realized this was an oppurtunity to show him that I am just as capable as my classmates. I don't know for sure if he realizes it yet, but I guess we'll find out when the time for our second exam roles around.
