I found this Essay to be very interesting because I too was
born dyslexic. I learned in kindergarten that
I was dyslexic while we were making Apple Cider in class, it was my turn to
stir the pot and a piece of apple peel that was accidentally left on one of the
apples popped into my eye. I was taken to the hospital and it was cleaned and I
had to wear a patch on my eye for several weeks. Once the patch came off I had
to go to a special class to rehab my eye. This is when they learned that I was
dyslexic.
I had the opportunity at a very young
age to learn how to read with this debilitation. Actually it turned out not to
be a debilitation at all because I learned how to read and write as a dyslexic
rather than as a normal reading child. Today I do not even notice that I have
dyslexia, rarely, I will stumble when I write or read, but only when I am in a hurry.
His story was very inspirational, I
like that he not only learned to deal with his dyslexia, but also how to apply
the skills he learned into other useful skills that ultimately helped him with
his problem solving skills. I don’t often envy or wish I was someone else, but I
do wish that I would have acquired this skill myself. I am horrible at problem solving
and my brain tries to shut down when I engage in problem solving equations in
my math class.
