don't let comments of ignorant people get to you. I am proud of you for going to HGAC. Can you start there again? Hang in there, you CAN do it.

Yes, you will find another school because you have the desire to do so.
Don't feel bad about your grades not being spectacular at HGAC. Believe me, there are thousands of college students with the same grades problem. Also, maybe one of the reasons your grades weren't that great is because you were being HARASSED about a handicap...which, last time I checked is illegal, or at the very least, against campus policy.
You need to file a complaint about the harassment before you leave HVAC completely. If people were making fun of you because you were gay, Black, or Jewish, all hell would break loose for the school. It is EQUALLY wrong to be making fun of you because you have CP.

Talk to your school about taking internet classes, and bring your grades up. Ignore stupid people. They have no right to make fun of anyone.
