I was covered under the SCHOOL's insurance and was only allowed one semester medical withdrawal. So I took it, took the summer off (keeping the insurance for that time) and started again in school. I ended up failing all my classes last Fall because I needed my healh insurance. If I took another medical withdrawal I would have to pay back the insurance company everything they paid out.<BR/><BR/>I had to petition to get financial aid once again because of my grades.<BR/><BR/>Even though I only need 3/4ths time intead of full time to get the insurance, they don't consider online classes. It's very difficult. Especially now because I'm having surgery next week and absolutely need the insurance in the fall, but I will be missing 2-3 weeks of class in the begining.<BR/><BR/>Its a tough road.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961274211916983166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-42391915951340393672008-08-09T05:45:00.000-07:002008-08-09T05:45:00.000-07:00As a prof, I've always wanted to start some massiv...As a prof, I've always wanted to start some massive petitioning against the food served in the college cafs. I know this may be a stretch to connect to this particular blog, but I think that healthy eating is connected to overall health. I can't imagine how chronically ill students find suitable food in sodexho and aramark cafeterias, esp. when it makes healthy kids sick too!Anney E.J.

His words are very inspirational. <BR/><BR/>Also in the podcast, a man with Multiple Sclerosis talks about his own invisible disability and how it is perceived.<BR/><BR/>Midnight In Chicago puts out these free audio podcasts, and they can be listened to at www.mic.mypodcast.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-22022175137982379942008-08-04T09:53:00.000-07:002008-08-04T09:53:00.000-07:00Hi Laurie.
