I truly believe, my peers had a big impact on the student’s behavior. As a team, I believe we did a great job keeping

    I slouched at the table in the boring, gray counselor's room, headphones squeezing my ears, as I did my first hearing and vision screening. The counselor played a series of beeps, and I gave a thumbs up for every time I heard something.
