Took typing in high screwl. Only non-A I ever made and it was disturbing to me. My hands are more like hams and my fingers are thick and stiff from having been broken and now arthritic. I manage though and can sometimes get on a roll. My biggest problem is transposition of letters of course. Hated typing class since I could not do well at it without considerable effort and then it was not good enough but I managed. Same with piano. I could never force my fingers to make a chord. They just don’t work that way.
By the time I took typing, I suspected I would be hopeless at anything requiring finger or manual dexterity. Typing class confirmed it and I subsequently forever gave up any hope of playing the piano, the banjo, etc., or being a magician, etc. Problem was, I was fast running out of potential occupations.
I had decent reflexes and could punch like a mule kicks, but hated being punched back. So boxing was out, although lack of general athleticism, endurance and speed had already pretty much tipped me off that I wasn’t going to be a boxer. I wasn’t smart enough to be a brain surgeon, mathematician or physicist. Things were looking pretty bleak, when lo and behold, I found out that with a little effort (actually, a LOT of effort) I could do well at math. I wish I could go back and put some effort into those other things I gave up so quickly (except boxing!).
