Artifacts from our Cohort




Fall: In the fall I was terrible at keyboarding. I did not know where almost all the letters were so it took me a few minutes to find a letter. I had no clue where the P was. It was really hard. I always pecked.

Mid-year: I still kind of did not know where all the letters were. I did not know where the q, w, z, x, y, v, t, r were. I kind of knew where the P was. I kind of pecked.

Present Day: Today I have found q, w, z, x, y, v, t, r and I know exactly where the P is. Most of the time I keep my hands on the home keys. I still do not know what all the keys mean like Ctrl or Alt.
