They offered me the job and I started a few days after that. The lead teacher kind of told me Jamie's typical schedule of the day. You know, in the morning we would be in the special ed classroom to go over morning announcements. And then Jamie and I would walk to her math class. While Jamie was in math, I sat next to her. opened up her backpack, got out her book.

Well, I took notes and Jamie listened to the lesson. Then if I recall correctly, we went from math directly to English class. And I remember in English class, they were reading The Hobbit. And it was the same sort of deal. I sat next to her, opened up her backpack. Again, because her fine motor skills, she could not open up her backpack by herself. Got out her books and took notes for her.

Sometimes in English class, I would get the lesson and we would go to the school library. So we could kind of spread out and use the computer. That's how we communicated with one another. Jamie always carried a laptop with her. It was a special kind of laptop that she would type, and then if she hit a button, the computer would speak for her. Sometimes we didn't use that feature.

She would just type a message. And I have to say, because of her apraxia, The way she typed was, her hand was weak, so I would have to hold her wrist while she extended her index finger, and then she would hit the keys one at a time. So I was always holding her wrist while she typed. Otherwise, she just could not physically type on the computer.

But we always went to the school library, even after classes, just to either catch up on her homework or do her schoolwork.

So on day one, I remember going to the computer and we were just chit-chatting. I would always ask her questions just to get to know her. You know, what did you have for dinner last night? Do you have any pets at home? What do you like to do? And things like that. You know, sometimes when I would ask her questions, she would only give me maybe one word answers.

It was hard to figure out really who she was. I kind of relied on her non-verbal. Like I said, she was very affectionate. In the hallway, she would always hold my hand. And that's how we mainly communicated with one another, through that non-verbal. Because sometimes I felt that she didn't even maybe want to answer a question that I had.
