Writing good things about yourself is one of the hardest things to do whether you have dyslexia or not. You need to talk to parents and friends and ask them what they think your good at and keep a running list. Another option is to look at resumes on monster.com and look at their lists of skills and see if you find your self saying "I can do that". If you are like me you are not a multitasker but you can reverse that and say something like "determined problem solver" which tells someone that you do one thing at a time until you get it right and you don't give up. Anything that you feel is negative about yourself has a positive opposite behavior. You are probably creative and I know that you are strong to have fought this battle for so long. Let the fear of the class roll off of you and try to see yourself as others see you and then put it on your resume.
