Dyslexia is way more then just letters, words and numbers; and you can never get rid of it, it says with you the rest of you life. I'
m dyslexic, have been for my my whole life; i have to admit is sucks
ass but it some times has it benefits. I get
extra time on tests and get to use tools to help me with homework. Now I know some of u use the dyslexia or dyslexic it describe someone stupid; "now imagine your in english class, the
teacher asks you to read out loud to the class. You start to read but then panic because you do not knew how to say the next word or the word after that. The class is looking at you as you try to figure out the word; someone finally says the word out loud but what about the other words. . ."
The is what dyslexics go through everyday of there life because
reading is such am important part of our daily lives, and if you can't read very well life starts to get
even harder. Then signs on the road on the freeway become difficult; signing papers
reading business letters becomes hard. Then along come the
people that might be like you; they mock the the ones that can't read, call them stupid. Then you say "oh that's so dyslexic," saying to them that the disorder they have makes them stupid. You may it not that important but to them it is very important, they lose self esteem; i remember back in grade school i never wanted to go to school because the
kids would laugh at me. It all
hurt so much to me. So the next time you get ready to say "That was so dyslexic," think about that many
people you may be hurting and put yourself in their
shoes. Because a dyslexic's life is already difficult without you making fun of them. :)
I am
dyslexic. There are times when I hate dyslexia, there are times when I love it; but it is a part of me, so I just have to deal with it. So I just think to myself that I have my
dyslexic, it doesn't have me. I think of it as a gift God gave it to me to share with it world. And I am,
one person at a time.
