Dyslexia

I do not allow my dyslexia to hold me back and embrace that it makes me unique, although it has made my academic learning more difficult, I make up for it in personality, practical skills and common sense. My dyslexia has presented me with many challenges throughout my education, however it has also allowed me the opportunity to build my resilience and determination, adding to my skill set for the future.
