I have dyslexia which doesn’t make me stupid, however it is a reading disability.
Some people guess that dyslexia makes you stupid, but those people knew nothing about Einstein, or various other geniuses who have dyslexia.
I proved to people that I wasn’t as stupid as they thought I was. I was still having a hard time reading and doing math, however it was because our letters and numbers were jumbled. When I told the lecturer at the Heating and A/C college about my dyslexia, he shook my hand and told me welcome to the group. He said he had a horrible time with his dyslexia, and if it hadn’t been for an instructor who recognized his disability, he would not have gone to Heating and A/C college.He asked me if I had an easier time if they gave me verbal tests instead of written tests. Most of our instructors didn’t like doing that. They just wanted to push me to the next grade. He told me that whenever there were tests, he would deliver me an oral exam. He also offered to send his child to my home and help me study. His child also had dyslexia. He said they understood what I was going through. I didn’t know I could ever thank the lecturer and his son, until I joined their Heating and A/C supplier right out of college. Without the Heating and A/C lecturer and his son, I would not be where I am now. I own one of the biggest Heating and A/C companies in our state, and my child is in line to take over when I retire in a couple of years.
