I was born with processing issues that was diagnosed as ADD but i think it falls alng the lines of something else- disgraphia because i am considerably horrible at math for my age, i always have been unfortunately. As you can imagine, school from 2rd grade up until my senrior year of college (currenetly) has been a absolute disaster for me, i had a C average and only got one A as a grad in a course in my entire life but that wasent even a academic course. My point is that I am struggling so much right now to get my diploma as i try to take astronomy because i have to pass a certain class of this or physics or chemistry nature in order to graduate because its a requirement for all students, regardless of whatever disabilities they might have. I find this insane and unfair. When i applied, I remember i was told i did not have to take a math placement exam because of my potent learnign disability, i somehow got my math requirement ‘waived’ . but apparently not these physical sciences?. Are they kidding me?. I have tried to pass both chem physics when i took them last semester but even with the diligent and constant help of even the brightest tutors, i could not get a passing grade (at least a C ) in both these classes, so i ;’failed’ AGAIN and now I am being forced to try and pass astronomy. I feel like i am being held prisoner by the faulty system because my colege will not give me my damn diploma until i pass one of these rediculous courses that I cannot stress eneough is beyond my comprehension/understanding. I can’t believe there is no one else like myself with a learnign disability who has being forced into a similar suffocating corner, I feel so alone, scared and lost in all of this because i don’t know any one well who has a learning disability other than myself so when i tell them that i try my hardest but it never seems to be good eneough, they never, ever seem to understand where i am comming from. I am sorry this is so long, I am just so desperately seeking advice from someone who knows about the legality of Section 504 which is of the Rehabilitation Act and The Americans with Disabilities Act and can tell me something that can get me out of this hellish science requirement tht has taken over all my time, energy, confidence and self love that i had for myself . Is there some sort, any sort of way that my real certified/documented learning disability could accomidate me from this nightmare requirement?. After all, isn;t my genuine disability supposed to help me at times like these?,
If i can find a way to get tested or given assesment to confirm by professionals to prove if i do in fact have a math LD or not then, if the results come back that i do have a math LD THEN can I possibly get this requirement waived?. I have tried all the possible classes available online and offline in the most simplest of classes with countless tutors, nothing absolutely nothing helps. Please, there MUST be something i can do other than try endlessly in summerschool, additional classes, tutoring sessions, review sessions, etc. I am the ideal example that you can ijndeed bring a hourse to water but you CANNOT force her to drink/do. Simmilarly, i cannot be forced to truely know science.
