The process of writing was one that as a kid loomed over me because the idea of expressing the feelings that were inside out onto a paper always stumped me. How could I be asked to take what was held privately in my head and manage to make sense of it all, enough that others could understand? The struggle to manage my feelings into tangible ideas stemmed from my minor dyslexia and it was apparent in my ability to read and write. The spelling errors that riddled my writing and my inability to differentiate opposites while speaking were clear indicators that my minor dyslexia was something that I would have to live with. Going through the typical public school tract was not one that favored those with learning disabilities. In elementary and

In my childhood I was not taught the fundamentals of proper writing. Nor was it influenced in my household to dedicate time for writing. My father owned his own business, therefore, I always saw him writing inventory and receipts. As for my mother, I can recall her writing down messages from phone calls. At school I found little to no growth in my writing. When I did face a task that required legible writing I would seek help from my friend Sandra. This class is by far the first English course I have taken were I could truly say lectures are broken down enough for me to develop satisfactory growth. I am still a developing writer, but I have made a lot of progress because of influences of my own desire to learn, Professor Anna C. Morrison, and
As a musician/performer I would say that I dealt with a few struggles throughout the semester. One major struggle would be trying my hardest not to get frustrated when I wasn’t able to play properly because allowing that to affect me would prevent me from getting better at my instrument. The second struggle was that I allowed myself to get distracted which also at times prevented me from doing my best. As far as my strengths I feel as though once I got through those struggles I was able to play my best and work harder to get those high notes out. Overall I believe that after the performances I was able to see how I have progressed and that allowed my determination to grow.
I full heartedly blame my previous teachers for my current writing disability. I had just turned ten years old, we were about to begin our very first essays and it was on that day that my hatred of personal essays began. I didn’t find it difficult to write and I actually enjoyed the experience. We wrote brief, terrible stories both true and fictional that I’m truly sorry and grateful my teacher was able to read. Later, my writing began to improve and we learned to write in an argumentative and analytical way using facts and evidence and this is where I thrived. I loved the hours of research and the beauty of writing a well formulated thought. Then I noticed the lack of “I.” As my writing grew more bearable, the point of view changed and I took a note which my teachers confirmed. Eventually this idea grew until I couldn’t even read, much less write, a piece constructed in the first person.
The observation of the dyslexia is explained in chapter 10 on page 466 - 467. Dyslexia refers to a reading disorder that involves difficulties with the words, letters, and other symbols recognition. The other signs of this disorder involve poor spelling and decoding skills as well as difficulty with fluency and comprehension. The subtypes of dyslexia are encompassed acquired, deep, development, surface, and phonological. The text enlightens the acquired and phonological dyslexia. Acquired dyslexia results from a trauma or injury to that part of the brain which controls reading and writing. The persons with acquired dyslexia make many word alternates that are semantically related to the object, for instance, laugh or cheer for applaud. The individuals
At a very young age I had a hard time learning how to read and write. We didn't find out why till kindergarten when I took a test and scored positive for having dyslexia. Ever since that day teachers have worked with me to learn and understand english.
Developmental Dyslexia is characterized by comparatively low reading abilities in regards to age, education and intelligence. Reading is a multifaceted mechanism, including phonological awareness in order to sound out different words, and also orthographic abilities to map the sounds to their visual forms. Any type of impairment to one of these facets can have a huge impacts on the other systems that are incorporated. Because of this, the many different theories in regards to dyslexia don’t often contradict each other, they just explain what happens in the different systems and facets that are incorporated in the complex cognitive process of reading. One of these theories is on the topic of the magnocellular system. This system is responsible
Dyslexia is a rather general disability. To really understand dyslexia you would need to know what dyslexia isn't. Dyslexia isn't being inactive or an indication of low intelligence. Dyslexia is a condition that affects the arrangement the brain uses to classify written and spoken language. Dyslexia is mostly associated with difficulty reading. Few specialists actually may relate to it as a "reading disability'. It also can affect writing, speaking, and even spelling. Some examples of dyslexia are; trouble with sequencing, struggling with their reading, the abnormal development of a spoken language,
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability. The word dyslexia comes from the Greek meaning “difficulty with words”. Dyslexic children usually have trouble with spelling and writing, and sometimes with reading and numbers. It is characterized by problems in coping with written symbols, despite normal intelligence or motivation. This type of reading disorder makes student fails to recognize and understand written words. Dyslexic people may have problems putting things in sequence, following instructions, and confusing directions. Children born with dyslexia have difficulty with text, memory and basic mathematics. They are hard in sorting out the sounds within words, therefore they have troubles with reading, writing, and spelling. The cause of
I am no writer. I don’t have connections to assemble or a creative imagination to share. What I do have are opinions to voice and arguments to present: but these, too, I must learn to communicate through writing. In the past, I have only ever written required assignments for school, and I struggled with them: I continue to struggle with writing today. After reading Dillard’s two essays, I learned more specifically that I struggle with beginning a piece of writing, writing clearly, and analyzing or revising what I’ve written.
Discussions of dyslexia require a definition of the term, and this is where we can come into some confusion if we are not careful. In fact, the “problem” itself exists in the defining of the word, and thus the labeling of those to whom the definition applies. However, with some knowledge of the etiology of “dyslexia” we can begin to ply our beliefs off the population of “dyslexics” and start to gain some understanding of their experiences with language learning. This is, after all, the intention of this research. Guardiola (2001) also assisted in redirecting the academic focus in this direction, towards the etiology of the term and how its history has shaped current social work, education, neurobiology, and psychology perspectives.
Growing up I learned to read in school like most others, but when it came to writing I was at a huge disadvantage. I have a disability called dysgraphia which effects the way I write. When it would come time for me to do my class work my peers and the teacher would struggle to understand what I had wrote on the assignment which would lead to chastisement from my peers. At one point I stopped enjoying school and even stopped doing my work. On top of the chastisement writing became too much of a chore for me to handle as I would end up growing tired both physically and mentally due to the way I would hold my pencil it would hurt my hand which would cause me to not be able to write for long periods of time without taking a break between paragraphs. Upon review of my work I would mentally beat myself up over the quality of my hand writing. I would find it tiring to constantly checking my letter alignment and spacing that I would spend five minutes writing and the next ten looking over what I had just wrote and re writing it all over again all while being mad at myself for not being able to write like my peers especially when it came to writing in cursive.
