The Changes in Writing

In "The Story of my Life" by Helen Keller, we see a young girl battle her lack of sight, and her sense of hearing in order to learn how to communicate, and write. Helen Keller has about 100 years on me which makes me think, what are the differences and similarities between her writing experience and mine? (Which just happens to be our assignment)

We'll start out with the easiest part, the differences. Helen Keller struggles much more than I did when it came to learning because she was both deaf, and blind. The other major difference is that I have grown up in such a time where reading, writing, and editing has become much easier thanks to the help of technology.

As a person that comes from another country, and has English as a second language, I can feel some of the similarities felt by Helen Keller (to some extent) when it came down to understanding the meaning of different words. I also see the difference in teaching methods between here and my country, where I come from we all write cursive, while I myself loved it, when I moved here I felt like my way of writing was just another reason to stand out, and thus I worked into kicking cursive out of my system. In hindsight, it was a very dumb decision, but as a nine-year-old kid who just wanted to fit in, and had a  difficult time communicating, it seemed correct.

And this right here is my prove of cursive writing back in grade 2.
