Now I can help people like me
13 December 2011
When I started school, I could already read, but I could never spell. All throughout primary and secondary school this continued. One of my English teachers said she thought I was dyslexic and I was then tested, but I was told I was too bright to be dyslexic. I change to a sixth form college and within six weeks I was being tested for dyslexia. I now had a diagnosis and the help I needed.
I managed to pass my A-levels and a get a degree. I am now a teacher who is studying for a Masters, but I have just qualified as specialist teacher who can test and teach dyslexics.
So now I can help people the same as me and I also have a good insight as I know what it feels like to have those difficulties. My message is never give up I am proud to be dyslexic, as it makes me who I am.
