Terri, I don't know how I got that fast.  I suppose some of it is from wanting to aggravate my brother and sister with the noise or to finish my home work before everyone lese.  I did start public school in the middle of my 7th grade year.  Only 1 or maybe 2 of my books were in Braille.  I had to Braille everything else I wanted or needed.  This was even down to lines for plays, poems, or in a few cases parts of books  I have extremely long skinny fingers that used to be strong, arthritis is starting to set in though.
