Like most 22-year-olds, I am enjoying college. However, having a physical disability really makes that pretty challenging at times. Getting around- especially in miserable weather conditions can often be pretty tricky sometimes. When it's difficult for me to get around, I often get frustrated when I'm unable to take part in the activities that I really enjoy doing the most- activities like going to Christian Student Fellowship on Friday evenings with many of my friends here at UIS.
Who am I? My name is Nico Echols, and I'm a college student who hase a disability. The main disability I have is cerebral palsy, which can be a pretty tough disability at times. I use crutches to help me walk, but that's nearly impossible in bad weather conditions. Having cerebral palsy means that my balance isn't good; this makes walking even a short distance often very difficult for me.
Freshman Fun
I guess being a 22-year-old freshman isn't so bad. However, it has presented me with many challenges so far this year. I'm still getting used to all the new and "scary" experiences of being a "first-time" college student
UIS Cooking Experience
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to learn how to make my own pizza.
