a taste of an article

These are some things that I will probably include in a future article. I wrote in the Third person. I hope that this article will get published in newspapers. I will also be publishing it on here. Enjoy
Blind student will publish an article on school unfairness
A blind student, whom recently graduated from SMC College, will publish an article in a few months that will tell people how SMC College expects him to pass a class in able to obtain his AA degree. He will also talk about how future students could be affected by these requirements. According to the student, these requirements are unfair.
For example, the class that he has to take in able to get his AA degree, is not targeted towards him. For example, this person has to take a journalism class. Half if not more of the material in the class, is for people who can see. Also, since he took a math class, he knows that because the concepts that are going to be used there will be to guide people who can see, some blind people would not be able to understand them. He knows that they would probably not understand things such as: decimal points if there is not someone who knows how to explain to the blind student, in a proper way, what that is.
He would like to write this article because it is not fair for students to take a class about something that they know nothing or very little about. In this case, it would be the things, descriptions, format, or visuals that the teacher is using to teach the class. Because of these methods, the person who will write this article would talk about how the student will lose more instead of gaining something. For example, instead of earning an A or b, the student could get an F as a grade. Also, he or she will probably never use or understand the things that are being taught. He thinks there would be interest because it would show how The California educational system focuses on the majority. Also, because more blind people are going to school, it would be necessary to change the educational system. By people reading this, they would be more conscious that there has to be a change. Further more, since a lot of veterans are going back to college, there would be some people with disabilities that are going to school or will go to school. “Since we owe our freedom to these people, people should care about this problem,” The future author of this article said.
The author would include four pictures in this story. A picture of a blind man or woman sitting in a news writing class with arms crossed as all of the other students hold a newspaper, would be included. In the picture the students are divided into groups. The blind person is sitting nowhere near. In another picture, the professor is walking towards the student. In another one, they are talking. In the last picture, the student is alone and upset. The student still has nothing to do. The teacher is walking to the front of the room.
The student would interview professors, students who are blind, and those who are not, the president of the college, and department chairs.
