Dyslexi A Character Analysis

Strength comes in many forms, We usually think of strength as a person with a powerful body. Actually, a person can have a strong mind, have patience, and the strength to resist temptation. Weakness is not always noticed at first, and it can be seen in many different ways. It can be an emotional weakness caused by loss, loneliness, and other life problems. Steinbeck makes his story, Of Mice and Men, interesting by giving his characters both strengths and weaknesses.

I am a student that has had to work hard for as long as I can remember in achieving my goals, dreams, both personal as well as academically. After many years of testing, I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my sophomore year of high school. Dyslexia is a congenital language process disorder. It can hinder reading, writing, spelling and sometimes speaking. Dyslexia is not a sign of poor intelligence

In the essay “On Being Seventeen, Bright, and Unable to Read,” David Raymond offers information on him having the experience of dyslexia.  He explains how dyslexia plays a major role in his learning. In a positive and negative way.  Dyslexia doesn’t only stop him with other educational activities but effects his self-confidence. While dyslexia brought Raymond many struggles as a child, it also played a huge role in Raymond’s confidence such as him saying that he wanted to die since he was different to everyone else. David visibly tells us how his dyslexia held him back from every day activities as a child. While reading, he says, “My family began to suspect I was having problems almost from the first day I started school.” This quote makes

However, I refuse to let it hold me back. English homework that takes classmates thirty minutes to do takes me twice as long. When teachers ask students to read out loud, I never raise my hand because of fear I’ll mess up. I slump down in my chair praying the teacher doesn’t call on me. Instead, I participate in other ways like answering questions teachers pose to the class. When people ask what it’s like to have dyslexia, I try to explain, but there’s nothing I can say that will allow them to truly understand. Often, I share one of my earliest memories. In preschool, we were learning the difference between right and left. The teacher kept saying your left hand is the one that makes an “L.” I stood there staring at my hands in confusion. I didn’t know which way “L” faced. It’s hard for those who haven’t experienced this to fully comprehend the obstacles I’ve had to overcome to get where I am.

Strength is not a trait that can be defined in a dictionary. So often, I find that strength is believed to be a universal word; that it means the same thing for every being on the planet. But strength is a feeling, it is relative just like beauty, love, happiness, and every other trait humans have conceived.

The biggest obstacle that I have encountered in my ability to read and write are my learning disabilities. I’ve went through 18 years of my life before they were identified, and they have caused me so much frustration. I couldn’t understand why other kids could read out loud so well and I couldn’t. I couldn’t understand why it took me so long to read only a few pages of a book when other kids were at the end of the chapter. I had no idea why I couldn’t even sit down to write a single paper when other kids were doing their essays in a span of a couple hours.

Since being diagnosed with dyslexia, I've always had to redo my work multiple times to understand. With cars if everything isn’t working, then the car isn’t working. Dyslexia has made me better with cars because naturally I double check my work. Dyslexia has helped me instead of pulling me down . It has actually helped realize the organization is everything. If I'm not organized It will take me twice as long to do something. Just like in a car's moving parts, if it's not organized and tucked nice and away, then it will rub or not work. what I am reading because of this It made me committed to whatever I do. When I can't figure something out with cars I can't stop trying to figure it out. Cars are kind of like reading and they can only work a couple ways, and if you can’t comprehend your car it will not run just like if you don't understand reading. Dyslexia has helped me find what I enjoy It has helped me learn how to adapt to difficult situations. My difficult situations may not be the same for others like something as simple as doing a project worksheet if there is always the thought in my head that I can’t mess up and if I read the wrong thing, then write it down then I just got my group points off for something I

There was a lot of interesting topics in both chapters for this week, but I am especially interested in the learning disorder of dyslexia in chapter eight. Dyslexia is a reading disorder that cause individuals to mix up similar letters such as p, q, b, and d, or rearrange words into either other words or gibberish. Researchers believe the cause of this disorder is malfunctioning neural networks of reading, and epigenetic processes, or environmental factors, are also thought to be a cause. However, dyslexia isn't the only learning disorder of this sort: Dyscalculia and dysgraphia also hinder a child's ability to learn normally. Dyscalculia centers around numbers. Individuals with this disorder typically can read letters just fine or with little

Since I have had dyslexia since I've always had to reread things multiple times to understand what I am reading because of this It made me committed to whatever I do. When I can't figure something out

I can relate to this in so many different ways. When I was a young man my mom, dad, and older brother, always corrected me on my grammar. My dad once said, "No woman wants to listen to a dummy." I was critiqued very hard on the way I spelled things and its been a struggle to this day with my dyslexia. For the longest time I would get mixed up like Craig in the story, using the wrong words such as, Weather instead of whether. The big killer for me was using the correct their/there. Luckily for me by the time I was in high school I didn't struggle too bad with this. Unfortunately, it turned me into a grammar nazi making it super hard for me to date illiterate sounding women. I am

The word strength brings numerous thoughts to mind such as: power, muscle, durable, advantage and potency to name a few. All of these words give a positive connotation to strength. Strength is, generally, speaking a exceedingly useful tool. Before taking the strength finder test I would probably associate the word strength with physical capabilities. However, through this Strength Finder course I have found a new and much more empowering perspective of this word strength. My strengths according to this assessment are: Futuristic, Belief, Communication, Activator and WOO. All of these strengths are natural talents I personally posses yet if I never work on them and improve them, they will be nothing more than a natural talent instead of empowering strength. Three areas of my life in which I can work to improve these gifts are: relational, academic and professional.

To thrive on this pathway to success, being able to recognize one’s own strengths and weaknesses in every facet of life plays a key role. It could the positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or the negative personal areas that need improvement. As humans, it is undeniable that we all have our fortes and faintness. There is therefore the need to realize our potentials and work on our weaknesses in our quest to become superior human beings.
