Kellie,
I had the same frustration in Math. I thought the raised picture of a
box in my braille book should just be a square, with 90-degree corners. It
took my teacher, and several classmates, to help me understand that things
look differently than they feel. I suppose I'd be totally confused, if I
suddenly gained my eyesight!
