Yeah, you really expected me at age 7 to walk a quarter mile in the dark to get to my bus stop, when I didn't even know how to tell time until age 9?

Or vice versa, adjust the school schedule by an hour, I still didn't yet know how to tell time yet.

    ...you couldn't tell time before 9?

    No, I was born half blind as a bat, and nobody would let me get close enough to see anything up close.

    My vision is about 20/500 without glasses, meaning that if I should be able to see it from 500 feet, I have to be 20 feet away to see it. Very very blurry without glasses.

    I finally got glasses at age 8, and finally saw a clock at age 9. I had to teach myself how to read it though, but that was kinda easy once I could actually see the damn thing! 🕘
