TEENS CAN TAKE STEPS NOW TO ADAPT THEIR SLEEP | |
“Growing up with many learning disabilities was extremely difficult. Having teacher after teacher who really did not completely understand my particular learning style was frustrating and a waste of time. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in the right and left hemisphere. For years, people thought that I could not learn beyond a certain point. For someone to over come the fact that they are not stupid takes some time.
Acceptance is the building block for success. For so many years, I could not accept the fact that I learn differently than other kids. For example, if I did not understand any assignment, that was it for me. That was my personal monster. I had a lot of trouble believing in myself. Instead of taking the time to try to work it out, I just gave up.
There was a period of time when I seriously thought about dropping out of school. I felt as though there was no hope. No one believed in my so why should I believe in myself? My self-esteem dropped to almost nothing. I did nothing but come home from school and sleep. I never told anyone how I felt, not even my mom. She was my best friend for so many years. Thanks to my mother, she got me into this great school called Benton Hall.
Benton Hall made me realize that I can learn. I can get good grades. The teachers help me until I understand the material. I love it here. Sometimes I know I don't act like I do, but I do. I also formed a strong relationship with a few of my teachers. I'm starting to love to learn, even math. I just want to thank everyone who helped me overcome my monster. I couldn't have possibly made it without my teachers. Now I can't wait to go on to college.”
