Nettles is one of eight physically disabled students living in the Woodrow Intermediate Care Facility. "If it weren't for the facility, it would be difficult to attend the university, Nettles said. Since its opening in 1983, the Woodrow facility has "provided 24-hour nursing, housing, meals and linen services," said Brenda Dant/.ler, volunteer services coordinator. "There arc other similar programs (throughout the country), but this one is very unique," Dant/ler said. According to Dant/.ler, the students are chosen on a first conic, ursi serve oasis aiier navi n g met the program's requirements. In order to qualify for the program, the student must have been admitted into the university, be a legal resident of South Carolina and be eligible for Medicaid. "I always wanted to attend the imivr?rtifv tr\ t li^ <?ir. cumstances, 1 couldn't," Nettles said. Nettles was injured in a car accident in 1975 and confined to a wheelchair. After the accident, "physical therapists pressed the importance of mainstreaming again. Coming from a small town, there is not much to do, not that wide a field in which to mainstream," the Walterboro native said. "First you have to accept it and learn to make the best of what you have," he said. "As bad as it may seem at first iinu you leei mere s noming 10 live for, if you're not a quitter I m.

Nettles has now adopted a philosophy which helps him look into his future prospects. "Once you start dwelling on the things you don't have instead oi ine inings you uo nave, you 11 never accomplish what you set out to do." A former resident of the facility and friend has served as an inspiration for Nettles. This past May, Louis Stevens graduated from USC and soon ~ i i i o i. ^ i: w<t^ iiiicu uy ouuui ^aiuima Electric and Gas. "It made me realize it really does happen.

"Realistically, it's going to be a few years," he said. "First 1 need to graduate from USC with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both finance and management and work for about three years. I'll then work on my Masters degree in health administration. "From being in hospitals and seeing how they run and operate, 1 saw where a lot of things could be improved. The viewpoint of a patient ... is a lot different." In the mean time, Nettles attends classes. For Nettles and the other disabled students, preparing for class is no ordinary task. During the summer, he attends 8 a.m. classes. In order to make it to class on time he must begin his morning routine at five o'clock. The routine "begins with physical therapy for a half hour.

The facility's 24-hour nursing care alleviates many problems which other disabled students face living outside the facility. Disabled- students who don't live in Woodrow rely on atten dants to help them through their daily routines. They are also responsible for paying the attendants' salaries. According to Nettles, there arc occassions when an attendant may not show up. The facility's 'round the clock service eliminates "that headache of whether a person will be in on time." Frenchie Taylor, nursing assistant since the program opened, sees the facility as "a home away from home. It's just a lot of fun vuorlino with cnllpoc ctnH^ntc It doesn't really seem like a nursing facility." "I've always been in the nursing field, and I like helping people," said Taylor, who learned of the program through a newspaper ad. "We learn a lot from thim," she said. "We learn from each other," Nettles replied. "You might say it s a learning experience. "It's like an ongoing relationship, a give and take relationship to accomplish the tasks of each day. "It just makes it possible as an alternative to convalescent centers."Nettles said. "There arc some guys who need niori assistance than others.
