carolann,
i actually learned (sorta) my left and right due to the fact that i have a scar on my right arm. i still look at it sometimes when i have my doubts!these posts make me feel a little less like a directional freak--oddly enough i have taken an odd turn regarding my job...i lead kids in the wilderness. i have become rather adept at using a map and compass (and i always thank god that a river only runs in one direction), but it has taken a while and i am still only really on par with many of the students i teach. if i could carry a compass and topo map in the city, i may be okay.
:) juniper
> I am so bad at the left and right thing that it is something of a joke with my husband. This is another clue that I have always suffered undiagnosed ADD, because I have distinct memories of times in elementary school gym class where we were doing activities which demanded left or right actions. Growing up in Florida, I always wore sandals, and the only way I could remember left from right was to look down at my feet, because I knew that my right foot was the one with the freckle on it!CarolAnn
