As a parent of a student with accommodations, I'd like all of you learned intellectuals who ascended to your ivory tower with only your grit, to consider a young adult who has battled a well documented learning disability to achieve a goal of making a positive impact on the world.  

Who is extremely intelligent but takes time to put thoughts to paper.  Who when given 6 hours to write a 3 hour exam, uses every minute of that and comes home bleary eyed sleeping for 14 hours but succeeds in producing deep and powerful essays that are unique and meaningful.  

Who competes tirelessly against the massive influx of foreign students who spend every waking minute of their day carrying out the families expectations but who may not be very well rounded or compassionate about the world around them.  I am so grateful that our child can achieve her goals and is not left behind because a few circuits in her brain are not wired in the most efficient way. Quality not Quantity/Speed!!!
