Addressing weaknesses and illness on application

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>Would it be a bad idea to address weaknesses in my application, such as flip-flops, in the essays? I've recently had a really difficult time with both illness and apparatuses that are supposed to assist me in class; for nine months, the latter kept breaking and for seven, the former could not be treated. The illness would not be problematic had the apparatus worked. However, the apparatus I had was brand-new, which meant that I (along with anybody else who received it) was the guinea pig for all of the bugs the company was still working out. My current school has very little disability services for hearing impaired people and their coordinator knows basically nothing about hearing loss. Such proved to be problematic while managing the broken apparatus.
Would it be a bad idea to say, 'yeah, this happened, but it will not happen at your school because' and explain why their strong disability services department would allow me to function a thousand percent better at their school? There is strong evidence in both my high school and college records as to how dependent I am on apparatuses. Though I have learned what to do to overcompensate by now, my performance is staked on whether or not the device works, and I really don't want to find I can't transfer just because I inadvertently Phonak's guinea pig.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>
