Edmerson, who has been blind for eight years. is a Social Science major and transferred to Harding this fall. 160 People As we go about our busy day, we sometimes forget to take time out and appreciate all that we have. Howwould we get to our classes if we were blind? Chris Edmerson, senior, deals with this problem every day of his life. Edmerson , who transferred from Southwestern C h ristian College this year, said the only thing that makes him different from other students is that he has been blind for eight years. Co ll ege alone can be a struggle. Meeting new people. finding all ofyour classes and homework can make college a frightening experience altoghether. Imagine not being able to see the college you attend and the people surrounding you on a daily basis. "Harding has been a big help. The students and the teachers have been wonderful , [QO. They have been receptiveand helpful to my needs," Edmerson said. "I don't have one specific person who walks me around campus . 1 rely on the help of passing students who are going my way. " One of Edmerson's hobbies is singing. H e and several other students decided to participate in the student talent show on campus, Sept. 17. After the show, the group decided to continue singing together and called themselves Third Heaven. The group performed several times throughout the year. "It is a definite challenge to attend college and be blind. But I'm proof that it can be done," said Edmerson. -Ginger W ilson
