My Most Memorable Experience

Anyone who would like to succeed in life or plan on making a lot of money knows that you have to know how to read. You have to know how to read to do everything,You are not going to make it in the real world if you don't know how to read. Reading can help you with a lot of things like whether it be financial issues, educational issues, or life in general.

On the first day of the second year of fifth grade. It was horrible everyone new people from when they were in fourth grade . I felt all alone in a corner. I knew no one ,then the teacher comes up . She said " Hi I will be your teacher this year". I said " Hi I will be one of your students this year".

Many people with dyslexia struggle with reading, but I like the challenge. I comprehend things I read myself much better than I do hearing them from someone else. Reading and transforming the words from authors into my own words comes much easier to me and helps me grasp the information more readily. I have always appreciated the relaxation reading brings me, and tying that into my education is a tremendous help. In college, I understand that a key part of college courses is independent outside-of-class reading; however, with this strength, I can be successful. I plan to use my forte in research, studying, and even personal

Reading is a wonderful reality escape.  Not every book I have the chance to receive is easy to read.  Some books are difficult to read due to not having privacy, time management, and having no patience.

As a reader, I have always struggled. From the first time, I began to read to now. We never understood why until I was in sixth grade. In sixth grade, I was tested for dyslexia and as a result we found out I was dyslexic. Through my grade school and high school years We did everything and anything to help me to read better.

Ever since I was in elementary school, I was never able to grasp what I was reading. It was always a chore and I would speed through it or avoid it entirely. The extra help I received was meant to help me provoke, my eventual, love for reading, but at the time only made me feel as though I wasn't smart enough to read what everyone else my age could. While most kids would push themselves to read books like Harry Potter, I was the kid who was still reading the Magic Treehouse series. It was through the assistance of my parents encouraging me to read 30 minutes every night that caused me to love reading and become the reader I am today.

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

Reading has had a place in my life from a young age with two young working parents putting themselves through school, books often kept me busy and quiet. When I started elementary school it took me longer to develop my reading skills if it wasn’t for my favorite book series Amelia Beldia I don’t think I ever would have caught up. The moment I fell in love with reading I was in second grade on a school night I stayed up all night reading a long book about animals. I even woke up my parents at 4 am to tell them how proud I was of myself. Reading in a classroom setting is difficult for me when I'm not interested in the story. The proficiency tests throughout the years k-5th where the worst. Terrible short stories about potato farming, bird flight patterns were not interesting enough to keep my hyperactive mind on track. Against all odds, I was able to focus and graduate

Learning to read was a struggle for me. My father never had the opportunity to attend school of any kind, being born in the early 1940’s and with several siblings; he went to work at about the age of eight. My mother made it to junior high before have to leave school to start working. This factored into my early struggle with reading. My parents were unable to help me with reading and spelling. I was not that little girl that got bedtime stories read to her, and there were few books around the house, even with my parents’, especially my mother realizing how important an education would be for me. My mother intended for me to not have to work as hard as she and my father did. I was also fortunate that the school I attended talked to my parents about special education for the learning disability that I was diagnosed with. Through special education, I received quality one on one instruction.

One Memorable Day was when I came to Job Corps. When I first walked in there was students everywhere it was like a little college. As the staff was walking me to the small chapel, there were students talking to me welcoming me asking my name, age, sign, just being kids as usual, there was boys walking in there because I came in on a Tuesday which the students called it “NEW BOOTY TUESDAY,” and I was so nervous. Once the staff walked in they order us pizza and was telling my input family (which are that students that came in with me) a little about the school and about what trade we came there for.

My struggle to read usually ended up with me taking well over an hour to get my assignment done. I didn’t know at the time, but that extra amount of effort and time would become a constant occurrence in my life. It is my struggle with dyslexia is something in my life that goes unnoticed that has given me so much appreciation for my education.

I've had a lot of positive school experiences but one that stuck with me was the preparation and the night of National Junior Honor Society. I had a lot of fun picking out the dress I was going to wear and the shoes to go with it. Most of the time I was with my friends except for when we had to go in line. Also it was nice to see that some of my teachers were there and supporting the kids.

When I was five years old I was diagnosed with dyslexia. So in elementary school I never wanted to read books and learning was extremely hard for me. When I would be called on in class to read outloud I would stutter, mix words up and become extremely embarrassed. I was put into a lot of “special” classes for being dyslexic but being put in those classes has been the biggest handicap of all. The standards for the classes were extremely low so I was never taught the basic reading and writing skills all the other kids learned. Dyslexia became a seemingly insurmountable wall that I

My life experience in middle school was an astonishing year. I went to a school called Step Charter in Houston Texas, which was full with outstanding teachers and students. I was a very well behaved student, who had mostly A’s and B’s. Most people can say time can go by so fast, well it did for me. It was the last day of school for us eighth graders, who were moving on to high school. We had just finished our graduation ceremony and I was saying goodbye to all of my marvelous friends, who I would miss forever.

The most memorable moment I have experienced and one of my greatest achievements in my life was going to state for marching band my freshman year. From the start I was far from the best marcher, let alone freshman on the field, but I was the most hard working. I would come early in the morning, in order to work on my weaknesses. When it came time to see if I made competition band, I had learned that
