A Shock

When I walked in today, Judy asked me if I want to make a video for an upcoming conference that she is doing in June with a Connecticut organization called Abilis. I responded that I am really not a good enough speller. She looked shocked, and asked me what I am smoking. “Keith, you are a great speller now!  You are fast and accurate.”  

That astonished me. It was incredibly difficult to master this. I really struggled for years to get my hand to the letters. It made me insanely happy to hear her say that. I guess it never occurred to me that I had mastered this, because it is still so hard for me. It was a revelation to me to learn that I am an accomplished speller. What a surprise that was!

I guess that just goes to show that hard work and a great teacher can work miracles.
