Esperanza has low vision that stabilized after a period of decline. She can see some text if it is enlarged significantly and presented in high contrast.
As a freshman at a state university, Esperanza was focusing on completing her general education requirements. Last semester, she decided to transfer to Chemistry 101 to be with her friends. Esperanza believed she would do well in chemistry because she understood how invisible objects, such as atoms, and molecules, interact and make up the world. Because in high school the chemistry lab had been waived for her, Esperanza did not yet know what accommodations she would need in the chemistry lab.
