Joining us in the studio today is Jennie Wegner and Michael Vitullo, who are currently attending college and happen to have learning differences/disabilities.

Michael Vitullo graduated as a top 10 student in the Class of 2016 from The Shelton School of Dallas. He is currently a student at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and is majoring in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. He has studied abroad for a semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At Southwestern, he serves on the Honor Code Council and is an elected official in the Kappa Alpha Order Fraternity. He was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia in the 2nd Grade and later diagnosed with Dysgraphia in the 4th Grade. He is spending this summer as an intern at a law firm in Dallas and plans to pursue law school following college graduation.

Jennie is a sophomore college student at Abilene Christian University majoring in special education elementary. She was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 5 and struggled with school ever since. She danced her whole life and taught dance to kids to distract her from everything going on at school. Her parents pulled her out of school to homeschooled from 8th-12th grade and is only reason why she decided to go to college. Having a disability she wants to be able to teach kids that have similar problems like she does. In the summer she enjoys volunteer at a special eduction clinic in Dallas. During her first year of college she has made the deans list twice, in a learning disability program, and is on the first ever dance team at ACU.
