when I was very young, even before first or second grade I think, I was diagnosed with Dyslexia. I always had to struggle with school and family life. My father never knew how to act around me when I couldn't read or do math and all I wanted to do was draw and play outside. School was hard, everyone laughed at me most of the time, which also made it hard to quick sucking my thumb, which I did untill the fourth grade. My mother on the other hand, tried very hard to make life easier for me. She tend to make things too easy, giving in when I got stuck, letting me take long brakes and often I would not do the work at all. Just so I wouldn't cry.

Here I am at the age of twenty two still struggling. But I find myself in the mind of getting things done, overcoming my past and building a new future. One where words don't hinder my way of life, one where math is just something that everyone knows, not something so evil that it needs to be locked away so no one will get confused, hurt or laughed at. I'm overcoming my past and I plan on graduating collage, my goal - with Honor's. In the mean time I work at a local Book store in their cafe as a Batista.
