My psychomotor skills were normal for my age, but verbally and cognitively, I was well beyond most premature baby expectations. I spoke at eleven months, read at about age one and a half, spoke a full sentence at the age of two, and read the Bible on a third grader's comprehension at the age of four.
I also had a thirst for justice at the age of six. Whenever someone was being teased, I kind of yelled for people to stop teasing (for example, my sister and I were at Wendy's when this girl started calling her mean names, and I yelled at her about "how mean she was being to Paige"). I recognized racism at the age of eight, and that's a pretty young age. I got interested in psychology in fourth grade, and I wrote like an eighth or ninth grader at the time....so I was pretty much cognitively ahead of other people.
I was extremely behind motor-skills wise...I couldn't walk until I learned to read, and I'm still rather clumsy!
