Produktbeschreibung

Wanting to learn the quick way of getting from one place to another, Kim Bleaker found she had to take a class called Emergency focus. Having been a good student, she didn't expect the class to be so hard. Then she found Sally was always trying to get her in trouble. Not that Kim needed any help in this class. The professor seem to enjoy off footing her students. Kim Bleaker was able to adjust to all of this, despite her practical skills seem to be deserting her. She was only barely keeping her grade high enough to stay in the class. She hoped to pass the class on the paper portion alone, when her professor dropped the bomb only four days before the midterm by saying, "On your next exam, anyone failing the practical, won't be allowed to take the paper portion!" However, this isn't the worst of it. While the professor is telling Kim, that Kim has yet to show the components she plans to use, her class textbook goes missing. This leaves Kim only a few days to do what everyone else has taken three to four weeks to do. With little to no money or time, Kim heads to the school's library. Only the student at the help desk finds all the books on that subject are checked out and not likely to come back. However, she does find one of Kim's classmates who has what Kim needs. Oddly, he is in the wrong section for basic wand making. Hoping he might be done with what she needs, Kim goes to talk with him. He gives her way more help then she expected. However, only after swearing to never let anyone know about it.

Autorenporträt

Hello, this is R. E. White. Sooner or later anyone who reads my work will find a word or spelling mistake. There are two reasons for this. The first is I am blind. Not totally. I can see light and shadows from a few scattered pinholes. This is due to two genetic conditions which have been slowly killing off the retina cells. At one time I could see and drive. However, well before the year two thousand I was designated as legally blind. I stopped driving a few years before that. Just after losing track of where I was on a four lane road. It only lasted a few seconds, but let me tell you when you can't even tell up from down for two seconds and everything just becomes different colors with no perspective, it makes you want to park and never drive again. Well, I wanted to but never did. That was one of three big steps I had to go through when going blind. Waiting for someone else to drive me rather than just go. The next was when I had to get someone else to read my mail. The last was when I could no longer understand what was on a TV or computer screen. This meant no more video games.
In the case of computers, I shifted to a talking one. This includes learning to type blind. Listening to the computer tell me which key I just tapped, and learning how to get it to read things to me. There are other things a talking system can do. Unfortunately, there are few sights which pay attention to making things work for text only systems, and fewer good, sound only games. Even My smart phone which has a voice mode, never remembers to check out the apps for whether they will work while in voice over mode. I have a lot of books from audible dot com and even though I have repeatedly informed them there is no way for me to rate their books, they keep asking me to do it. When they came out with an app. for my smart phone, the rating screen doesn't work at all in the voice over mode. Still I can get many good books from them. Just not rate them or delete them when they go corrupted. I have to have a sighted person take over and get rid of them. Strange how most of their helpers never even know about the voice over mode even though it is built in to the phone, but then it was true for the helpers who built the phone as well.
Anyway, back to the writing problems. The wrong word problems are due to one, not being able to tell the difference when my computer reads it out to me. So two, too, to, and 2 all sound the same to me. This means a window which has been s...
