I pretty much covered this in another blog of my dyslexic struggles. But yeah, it was a struggle growing up. I cannot remember my early years, but I did struggle with reading, writing and speaking. Even throughout my primary school I had to have a special teacher who would help me with spelling, grammar as well do some random special tests. And soon as I was in my secondary school, I received no help, got bullied, got low grades in English. There was a point where my parents said I could speak better German then I could English. And then there was college and university, doing the actual work I wasn’t too bad at, yeah, there were some things I wasn’t great at. But every time it came to writing essays, and there was a lot of essays. I'd always struggled, and during my time at university, I took a 2^nd dyslexia test. Yep, I was still dyslexic.

But during my teen years, I did enjoy writing and with a friend at the time they used to edit my work, spelling grammar, that sort of work. It wasn’t until I hit burn out and writers block, I stopped and left that world behind me. There was a part of my college course which planted the seed again for creative writing. And that was my highest scoring thing I did throughout college. And when I had a mental breakdown after 2 years of university, I was recommended to start writing again but keeping the numbers low. To which I still follow today.

Being dyslexic might give me a disadvantage of writing, grammar, spelling. It hasn’t stopped me from writing and don’t let it stop you.
