SDSU ‘JOURNEY TO SHARED HUMANITY’ TRANSCRIPT WILLIAM NARDI 1: Yeah I’m taking my test at student disability services. 2: What do you mean? You don’t look like you have a disability. 1: I actually have a learning disability and test anxiety. 2: That’s not a disability. A real disability is being blind or deaf or in a wheelchair. You’re faking it. What do you even get out of this? 1: Well like you said, 50 minutes and its all over. What takes you maybe seconds to process, it takes me twice that long. My learning disability and test anxiety are just as real as any other disability. I’ll see you later. 2: See you around, good luck on the test. 1: 74% of people with disabilities go on with life without any form of aid. So whether you see a disability or not, it still exists.
1:03 3: Excuse me, is anyone sitting there. Excuse me! Sorry, is anyone sitting there? 4: Naw you’re good man. 3: Sorry to bother you, I missed last week—I had to attend my daughter’s parent teacher conference. Would you mind filling me in? 4: Are you even in this class? I’ve never seen you before. 3: Oh yeah, I usually sit in the back. 4: But you’re like my dad’s age. What are you doing in school? 3: Well I actually served our country for 25 years. Now I’m back. 4: What year are you then? 3: Well I’m a freshman. 4: That doesn’t make any sense, how are you a freshman? 3: Well I mean anyone can go back to school at any age. 4: Yeah, but I mean why come back at all? What do you have to offer this late in life? 3: What are you trying to say?
