| When I was much younger than I am now I had
ear infections all the time. The doctors told my parents I needed hearing
aids on both ears, so that I could understand when people spoke to me. Not too long after
that I needed
glasses, too, so that I could see what the teacher was writing on the
blackboard. But that was only the beginning.....

* my legs grew real long and knock-kneed, and I had trouble keeping my balance. So, I sometimes fell right on my can when I tried to run with other kids my age! |
* my fingers grew long, too, and I found making a fist was hard to do; so I couldn't hold onto things too good. |
| * because it was hard for me to hear, and because my tongue seemed to get in my way, I needed help learning how to say certain sounds. {""essss"" is a real doozie for me to say !!} | * I get tired alot and seem to get colds, headaches and body aches all the time. {hmmm, its called ""arthur-itis"", I think!} |
| * school work's no picnic, either: multiplication and division? me?? forget it !! {well, I do try though} | |
| Anyway, you get the picture!! |
One day, I told my mom and dad for the umpteenth time that I was tired of being different and hearing-impaired ! It's not easy wondering why you can't keep up with the others and why you sometimes get made ""fun"" of {but, hey, guess what? it never seemed like too much fun to me!}....
