    To all the doctors, teachers, peers, and family members who didn’t believe I would amount to greatness, thank you. When I was young, I didn’t understand why school seemed more challenging for me than it did for everyone else. I couldn’t discern why I was unable to distinguish my right from my left no matter how many times my teacher sighed and told me it was simple or why I could complete math problems perfectly then copy my answer wrong between the work area and the answer line.…

    This chapter was about intelligence, dyslexia, learning styles, tests and structure builders. In more detail, there are proposed different types of intelligence, learning styles should not be believed, and people with dyslexia are more likely to see the big picture. This chapter was structured very similarly to the other chapters in the book which keeps it consistent. Personally, I particularly enjoyed when the author brought up dyslexia and the multiple ideas surrounding it.…

    A disorder of written expression can possess a wide range of characters for each individual, but, simply, I require extraordinary amount of time to write a basic statement, or, much longer than anyone with a similar intelligence and education. This disorder, of course, did not appear during primary school, since a homeschooler has no strict deadlines or schedules to keep. But, when I transitioned to a private school and a schedule became a necessity, I took twice to ten-times as long to produce an equivalent amount of written work to my peers, which caused havoc upon any form of timekeeping. Fortunately, despite being a memorable experience of pain, eventually, my mother was able to get this condition diagnosed by a medical professional, and have my school set up an Individualized Education Program…

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.…

    Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write, and spell in your native language, despite having an at least average intelligence.
