When did Maytag start to go bad?

[DADoES]

At one point, the administration changed my roster to put me in "typing class".
I bitched and groaned about that, told my mom, and managed to get out of it.
I had no interest of being some kind of "secretary" in the future.
I wanted to use my hands, my brain, to follow my passions.

I had two years of typing (helpful for computer usage), placed 1st at district UIL competition, 4th at regional so didn't go to state. I did go to state in science, tied for 4th or 5th IIRC. Also placed at district in journalism headline writing (which I thought was kinda off-the-wall ... the class was small so everyone who didn't outright refuse was tapped for competition in something).
