Overcoming Dyslexia

克服失读症

My whole life I have had to deal with dyslexia. Dyslexia is when you look at letters and numbers, and they get all mixed up. You may read a word thinking it says one thing but, in fact, it says something different all together. Obviously, this made reading and writing very difficult.

我一生都在克服失读症，失读症的症状是当你读文字或数字时，它们全部混在一起，你可能会以为你读的这个字是这个意思，但放到句子里却是不同的意思，这使得读写变得非常困难。

Before someone recognized my problem, I suffered greatly in school. Kids would tease me when I read out loud, and teachers would tell me I wasn’t trying hard enough. I became shy and didn’t want to read out loud or even quietly, I hated reading.

在别人发现我有这个问题之前，我在学校过了一段苦日子，当我大声朗诵时，其他孩子会嘲笑我，而老师也嫌我不够努力，我变得很内向，不想大声朗读，甚至小声也不敢，我讨厌阅读。

In grade four, I had a wonderful teacher who realized I had a problem. Right away, I was put into special classes. Over time, I learned to like reading. In fact, I came to love it.

四年级时，我遇到了一个很好的老师，他知道我有这方面的问题，马上把我调到特殊班级，在这段期间，我学习喜欢阅读，事实上我渐渐爱上阅读！

Now, at the age of thirty, I am a published author and a public speaker. So, it goes to show that if you put your mind to something, you can overcome anything!

现在我已经三十岁，我是个作家并且公开演说，因此这证明如果你决心下工夫，你一定能克服任何困难。
