Personal Narrative: My Experience With LD

Decent Essays
The more I read about LD the more I considered myself to had LD as a child and was never recognized for it. In Elementary School I always just got by with Cs but from what I can remember there was a lot of things I could not comprehend and ended up not doing. This leads me to believe that a lot of teachers just slid me through without a second look, wouldn’t even surprise me if the teachers knew I wasn’t capable of moving forward passed me anyways. If I were ever to work in a class room I would be sure to be 100% attentive and make sure I know the signs and symptoms of LD.

    Hello, This week has sucked. I broke down crying at work last night because I can not keep taking time off or else they will fire me. I continuously take Saturday nights off because my boyfriend lives three hours away and I want to visit him and he does not want to sit in my dorm room for 8 hours while I work. Finally I called him and told him he was just going to have to deal with it or meet up with some friends that he has in Queens. That was clearly the hardest part of my week.…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    Fortunately, I have past experiences teaching English and learning it myself as an ELL (English language learner) student. I have taught English in local schools in Cambodia, to children who could not afford education and worked with several NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in the process. While working with those children, I developed not only teaching skills, but my passion too becoming a teacher. My work led me to pursuit my career in education, so I can provide it to those who are as passionate and eager about it as I am. Since I have always done volunteer work, it was only routinely for me to contact organizations and work with them.…

    Unfortunately, I have been heavily diagnosed with the excruciating learning disability of dyslexia. All of these negative terms were how I used to interpret the meaning behind this so-called disability. From kindergarten through eighth grade, all of my teachers at the private school I attended, Oregon Episcopal School, were well aware of this quality that made me different than the majority of the students. Imagine falling in a ditch alone and unnoticed struggling to climb out, through many different approaches focussing on how to succeed, I was fortunate enough to have teachers who have helped me build a bridge to get over that ditch. The other side of the bridge seemed too far to see at one point but I was never alone.…
