My name is Bella, and I am a Biology student who happens to be blind.

O'Hara is a guide dog, who helps me navigate daily life. We have been a team since 2018, and O'Hara has spent my entire 4 year college career with me and has attended every class and lecture that I did. We both graduate in May, 2022. 

My hope is for O'Hara to receive an honorary degree from our college. This would not only have meaning to me personally, but it would also have meaning to her social media supporters who have been following our college life and are wondering if she will also get a diploma. It will also mean a lot to her puppy raisers and Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where she was trained. This would be a lighthearted choice for the school to show support for how hard service dogs work and a cute way to acknowledge her attendance. 

Please help O'Hara receive her own little diploma this upcoming May!
