■High-school senior with cerebral palsy blogs about college search
Bryan
Stromer, a disability advocate and New York City high-school senior who has
cerebral palsy, is among eight students worldwide who will be blogging about his
search to find the right college. "A majority of students with disabilities in
New York City public schools do not graduate," he writes. "I have a
responsibility to make the most out of my college process and journey so that I
change things in the future and redefine what it means to have a disability." The New York Times (tiered subscription model)/The Choice
