The Distance Education Training Council based in Washington D.C. has selected thirty seven outstanding students out of more than two million distant education students from across the nation and Megan was one of them! The criteria for this selection were academic records, and the level and quality of their contributions to society and to their chosen professions. Congratulations Megan!
Distant Education Helped Her Achieve Her Elusive Goal
Megan is almost completely blind due to retinolental fibroplasia of prematurity, a disease of the eye caused by disorganized growth of retinal blood vessels leading to retinal scarring and detachment. She previously had difficulty in other educational environments. Her grandmother found Hadley on a homeschooling mailing list when her family decided to search for other options. She enrolled at Hadley in 2003 at the age of 14.
Hadley is a distance education school that provides coursework to people who are blind and visually impaired, their family members, and professionals working in the blindness field. Hadley's courses allowed Megan to study at her own pace and work one-on-one with her instructors.
After graduating from Hadley, she enrolled at Liberty University, in Virginia, to study theology. She is pursuing a career as a fiction writer and southern Gospel singer.
"Hadley has taught me skills I can use in my daily life. The courses fueled a new love for learning that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I am the first person in my immediate family to graduate high school and my deploma means the world to me."
