New computer!
In school, I use a computer a lot for writing assignments. It was given to me by an organization called SET B.C.. They give disabled kids technology to make their life a little easier. I love to write using a pen and paper, but it takes me longer than everyone else, so my computer helps me keep up with the class, and getting my assignments in on time. A few years ago, I started using a program called five finger typist I can only use my right hand, because my left hand doesn't have the best coordination skills. Its quite spastic so my fingers have trouble pressing a computer key. I type so fast now with one hand! I've had lots of practise. Anyway, over the summer, I have been testing out a computer SET BC gave me. Ive had my computer for four years, so its time I get a new one . Also, my old computer was really heavy and it was hard for me to carry it on my own. The new one is a lot lighter. The keys are raised, so I don't lean over to far to see the screen or to be close to the keys. My SET B.C. helper Kathy MCcaulay came to my school yesterday and brought a computer with a bigger screen. I really like this one. I have to learn to stay organized on my computer, so yesterday I made folders for every subject, and I always save my work to the folder with the subject that it is for. I need to get a few things figured out about printing and getting hooked up to the Internet, but as soon as I get that stuff done, I will be good to go! I have a feeling I will be using my new computer for quite a while, maybe even when I get to university. I think this computer will be great! I cant wait to start using it. Thank you Kathy for giving me all these new things that make my life easier. You rock!
