You are very correct. I did not realize I was dyslexic until I started taking college Math. I always knew things were harder for me, I did not see things the way everyone else did and could not make it stick no matter how hard I tried. School as a child and young adult was just passing time and did not make much of a difference to me ( I just felt like I was "stupid." Since them I have found out that most of my immediate family is also dyslexic. As an adult I realized I wanted to accomplish things and I was able to focus better. Now I am in my 3rd year of obtaining my teaching degree. I have worked for an elementary school for 8 years now as a Paraprofessional and love that I can help kids see things and understand things better than others can. They need someone to tell them they are not "stupid" but they are going to have to "try harder than everyone else."
