【推荐2】All through the primary school, I need help with schoolwork. If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C, I had achieved greatness. A⁺ and B⁺ were a level that I could never reach.

Once my teacher had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought, “Wow! This time, I’ll pass.”

The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was “carper”. I wrote that one down: c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came the word “neighbor”. I only wrote down the letter n. Then “Suburban”—I wrote s-u-b. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe getting a D. Where did the words go?

Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life.

Now I know I have dyslexia(诵读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see the as teh, and bird as brid. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently, I can still be filled with greatness.
