About
When I started my DTA, I was homeless and attempting to make it through school with the additional challenge of a learning disorder that was not accommodated due to lack of paperwork which was stemming from the fact that I was homeless. The quarter that my teacher passed away mid quarter, I went onto Academic Alert. I managed to get stable housing and proper documentation for my learning disorder and came back to be on Honor Roll. It is amazing what stable housing can do. I am proud of where I have come and excited to start WSU on August 22, 2016!
