[quote=Anonymous]My mom was bedridden most of a year due to a complication of rheumatic fever. She missed an entire grade. No tv. No internet. AAs were not allowed to borrow books from the public library. Her uncle brought her his old college science textbooks. The month she was finally allowed to leave bed, polio broke out and pretty much everything shut down. She began a rock collection, drawing on the back of discarded laundry slips from the laundry where my widowed grandmother worked. My mom went on to skip two grades the next year and earn a master’s degree in science. Despite huge health, political, social, and economic barriers. [/quote]
