I embrace that learn and process information differently than most kids‚ but my dyslexia is often falsely considered a disability that cripples my potential to do well and how intelligent I am. In elementary school‚ more specifically third grade‚ in many instances I misspelled simple words and I frequently mixed up my “b’s” and “d’s”. I would spell words phonetically‚ so words like “said” would be spelled like “sed‚” and words like “bed” would frequently be spelled like “deb”. Not to mention how

Stage fright It was back in elementary school in Vietnam when I first realized that I enjoyed performing in front of an audience. Everyone gathered outside at the school’s field to honor the teacher.

Elementary school was an‚ emotional 6 years for me. Being only in my years of 5-10‚ it would probably be hard to believe that it was during those years when I did my most growing up-- maturity wise. It wasn’t due to one incident in my life that changed me into a different person. It was more a matter of events that made me gradually see myself in a new way.

This analogy really spoke to me because it reminded me of early years filled with minimal responsibility‚ a simplistic outlook on life and a excited viewpoint of faith. I can remember running around in children’s church viewing God as the coolest dads ever‚ and being a christian as an exciting venture; I was lucky to take part in.
