When I was in elementary school, my teacher told my mother, I am poor and do not put in the effort in my work, because my job of spelling mistakes is full.
When I was in elementary school, my classmates made fun of me and called me stupid because my job was always filled with red cross for all the wrong answers.
This is not true. I'm not stupid, and as others enter into more trouble when to do my homework because I'm dyslexic. This means that I have a learning disability, and my brain processes words and figures differ.
I'm not stupid. Dyslexia simply means that the words and the number of rare and confused character for me, but my brain can understand the language and things like normal children. I can make correct sentences in my head. Only arrive when reading and writing words differently from how you usually write, but they look normal to me.
Many people think I'm doing so just because dyslexia is not a disability is obvious, such as blindness or other physical disabilities. But that is not true - and I'm not saying I'm doing my best to my words and numbers like the way it should be to make!
My parents think not even suggest that it was possible for me to have a learning disability, because it seems so normal. Only to one of my teachers at school, I suggested wearing clear judgment that I am dyslexic.
Mom and Dad were sad when they heard, because it means that I am different from the other children in my school, but I was happy.
I am pleased because it shows that I was not bad, I'm not stupid. This shows that I have put in a lot of effort in my work, as I said, even if my answers to hard work always seem to be having fun. Mom and dad are helping me enrolled in a special education program to cope better so that you can learn to read fluently and write.
I was in grade six, and that is, I'll take my PSLE ​​soon. I know that some of my colleagues think that it is unfair that I have the extra time to complete tests because they think that it seems to have no real hindrance.
I am happy because I am the chance ever to learn how to deal with dyslexia, but at the same time, I am also sad because a lot of people still think that I pretend to have a disability, so you can get special treatment.
An estimated 10 percent of Singaporeans have dyslexia. Dyslexic children attend mainstream schools, 121 primary schools in Singapore hygiene program execution dyslexia in school. However, given the less visible nature of this learning disability, many people see with dyslexia still discrimination by their peers.
