As I sat and Brailled bookmarks for three hours I couldn't help but be very proud of myself. My hands ached and the two quote I'd been writting for the past few hours were so boring by now I wanted to throw them out of my head like disgarded rags. Never the less I was proud of the effort it had taken to write these.
They were to be sold the next Saturday at the anual holiday bizare sail for a dolloar. A dolla, I thought well earned. I couldn't wait for the meeting to show everyone how well they had turned out.
When the meeting came I proudly sat at my table like a queen on her throne. My kingdome came crashing down however when the head of the school that was holding the sail looked at them. She gave them a comtempted snort and said, "Kelly, you spelled "vision" wrong." I was startled. How could I have gotton it wrong? I know Braille fluently! I had got these looked at by our Braille instructor!
"What are you talking about?" I demanded.
You forgot to use the shortcut. You spelled it out. We can't sell these."
"WHAT?! I spent hours on those!"
"We can't have people thinking our students don't know how to Brialle correctly. Throw them away." With that, my hard work was thrown in the trash can. I wanted to cry with disapointment, both at a stupid mistake on my part, and her rudenes.
Author notes
This needs a lot of help but I had to vent about my day and the best way to do that is to write about it. If you have any ideas let me know. By the way, in Braille there are short cuts for words such as "vision" We don't have to spell the whole thing out. This saves space, and time. I hope that makes it clear for those of you who don't know.

Wow... You spelled vision out-- gee Kelly, you're a terrible person. They ought to bring back the guiatine just for you. *rolls eyes* She's lucky it wasn't me who'd brailed all those... Vision would have looked something like thfr6! That's-- it's assinine! AND IT WASTED MONEY AND TIME!
I'm sorry you went through all that just so that someone who's not supposed to be wrecking your personal view of yourself, could wreck your view of yourself!
If I didn't want to go to the center before, this really doesn't help me much. -
ahhh that sucks and what a rude rude person! I'm sorry this happened but everything that happens teaches a lesson i guess...
