The short story i submited into a compation about 2 months age (The Stripy T-Shirt) got 3rd place. according to someone else who entered it there were a large number of entries. I am in shock over this result. yes it wasnt first but a 3rd!!! what makes me the most excited about this is that I got a place AND Im Dyslexic!!! it helped me to prove to myself that despit a difficulty I can still do well at something.
This has inspired me to start writing poetry again and more stories and such.
I shouldnt let my dyslexia stop me.
People who were/are dyslexic: Roald Dahl, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Di Vinci, Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, Hans Christian Anderson, Walt Disney, John Lennon, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Alexander Graham Bell (the guy who invented the telephone), Steven Speilberg, Harrison Ford, Jamie Oliver.
oh and of course Me :)
It is time to embrace our differences, follow our dreams, and not give up no matter what challenges we face in life! Some of the most famous people in the world are dyslexic so i am going to embrace my difference and make it wokr for me. You should all do the same! :)
I just found your blog through your mom's...hope you don't mind. Congratulations on the story! Definitely don't let something hold you back, not dyslexia or anything else. You have amazing potential...reach for the stars!
