YOU WERE WRONG

Results

So the results of my second test I'm sure I have you interested now. Well tough you are going to have to wait like you made me wait to find out the truth. 

Ten years it took.

That may not seem like much to a fully grown adult. But that is the equivalent to over half of my childhood. 

Half of my childhood thinking that I was just stupid. People may not have said that. Of course you weren't going to say that out loud, but I thought it. Of course I did, how could I not? The point is I was never contradicted. Told that I was smart, or intelligent. Well not until I started to move up the sets. That caught your attention. 

But I still wasn't smart, no. I was a hard worker is what you said. Yes, I worked hard and that is what caught your attention. I had to work harder than most of the kids in my year. Until one person finally noticed that it wasn't right. 

And that person wasn't you. 

I was smart not obviously overly smart that caught peoples attention as they wondered over my intellectual abilities, no. But I was smart. And I worked so dam hard. Yet I wasn't completing the exams or getting the scores that I should could have been. 

So thank you to that person, who in the end gave me a way to find the answer to my long wondered question. 

So the answer. 

She told me that I was in fact dyslexic. 

I had been very good at hiding it, incredibly good in fact, but I was without a doubt dyslexic. 

I also had slow processing speeds which explained my lack to finish exams. 

And I am an extremely Kinesthetic learner. Which meant that my visual and auditory memory was terrible, which explained my struggles in language classes. 

It took a couple of hours for one lady to come to that conclusion. But for me it was ten years to find out the truth.

She said that with her report that providing evidence, I would able to qualify for extra time in all exams because of my dyslexia and slow processing speeds. She said that it would be easier for me if I used a laptop to work and do my exams on. So hay now I am on a touch typing course to increase my speed so I finish exams. 

She also said that it would be easier for me if I dropped French GCSE. But I didn't because I am stubborn like that! Working as hard as I did for so long did that to me. Made me refuse to except that I couldn't do it. So I'm going to take that exam even if I fail it just to prove that I can gat a grade above the one you have predicted for me. 

I'm stubborn and I don't give up.
