I have met Heather (the SM) before. My husband interacted with her on pretty much a daily basis when she was at Dar. She is blind. She had special software on her computer that would read her text to her. This is an expensive and very good school and the work is not easy at all. Most if not all of the graduates typically receive a fair amount of money in scholarships. It speaks to her intelligence that she was accepted to the school at all with her disability. I am thinking that her grandmother may have financed her education at Dar & she does live in the Rome area, or did at that time. Myself, as well as my husband and those who knew her much better than I do, are having a hard time seeing how she could have done this. She was a little different, but then her struggles were completely different than all of her peers that she went to school with, so that's to be expected.
I wouldn't say that she didn't do it, I have no way of knowing that. But I just can't see it.
