Dyslexia is very difficult to cope with. Some people think it’s just mixing up your b’s and d’s and m’s and w’s, but it’s not that. I don’t suffer from that. It’s a language processing disorder. It’s very common. Twenty percent of our school population has it, so someone you know has it. And currently kids with dyslexia don’t get the help they need, and that’s what I really want to get across, so that those kids don’t drop out of school and don’t fall behind. I have gone through the Wilson Reading System program outside of school. I graduated from it last year so I’ve overcome my dyslexia, but I still have little challenges, like left and right. I would love to be a tutor for the Wilson Reading System, but I also really want to be an orthodontist. That’s really my passion. I love science. I’m taking earth science right now and it’s so fun. I enjoy it a lot. I love braces. I mean, I don’t love them. But I would love to pursue that as a career and then maybe [tutor] on the side.
