Although I have left school a long long time I qualified in my juniors at 16
English literature
Irish
French
Domestic Science (home economics)
Algebra and
RSA Typing on the old typewriter (72 wpm) for which I received a commendation from the Head of the Civil Service
Today I would have an extensive memory of French a tiny bit of Irish and good bit of DS - for the life of me I can't remember Algebra - really don't know how I passed it.
Passed my driving test after 11 lessons the first time.
Do they do Algebra at school now.
On reflection of my life I have done pretty well to be deaf in a mainstream school. Lipreading was my saviour and I know lots of people refuse to believe I am 80% deaf and have been offered a cochlear implant by my consultant. No way hosay. I say. I came in "corned beef" (deef) and I will go out that way. Hope nobody will say I am blowing my trumpet.
At home was always treated as normal - too normal I say - although the youngest of the family - the difficulties I endured in childhood made me the head of the family - a lot of troubles were heaped on me unnecessarily from a young age and am still treated as the Head.
There, got that off my chest. JJConn
