Details: Ever since Arthur Scandrett was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in his last year of college at Howard University, he had to give up his part-time job because of weakness, but he had such pride, he did not want to tell his parents but had to when he finally had to resort to a wheelchair just to carry on with his studies so he could graduate. This is the story of many handicapped students who struggle even before it becomes visible.
