People don't understand
16 February 2012
I found out I was dyslexic last year. It didn't come as a surprise as I have always had learning problems but they were never picked up on until my second year of university. It was hard for other people to understand. Know matter how much I tell them they don't believe I have a right to find my work hard. When in group work and I find it hard to understand what I'm doing they get very angry at me. I know that I will always come head to head with people at many times in my life and they will never understand.
The the most important thing I have learned is you have to stay strong and believe in yourself. It is hard to live with dyslexia, but I'm happy it was picked up on and yes its hard when other people say things, but I show them I'm stronger than that and I can work hard. I want to be a teacher more than anything. Not only to teach but to help children who find learning hard and find out why they do. Nothing will stop me wanting to achieve this and I am working as hard as I can to get there.
