Really, Commercial Appeal?

My sister's nursing friend had her picture in the Memphis newspaper beside the story about graduating. That was why I originally clicked on the article.

The article begins with talking about a special relationship between a teacher and a student and how she came to watch her graduate. It also includes several other stories in the article about how special this particular graduation was. It was going good until the last few sentences...

"The same could be said for Sara Rayne, who received her doctorate in psychology Sunday.
In six years, Rayne finished her master’s degree and her doctorate, but it wasn’t easy.
Since childhood, she’s battled a learning disorder that affects her ability to perform math.
“I don’t know what percentage of people with a learning disability have finished their Ph.D.,” she said. “I just tried really hard.”


Really, CA, Really?
