"Audrey Thatcher has filed a request to admit Gavin Matthews to her team," the email from Ms. Morrie had read. "While we typically would not accept such a request this late in the semester, I have personally decided to approve it; Miss Thatcher has already displayed a lot of grit despite her obstacles..."
