I was diagnosed (misspelled that word) in first grade with dyslexica. From that point on I had no additional help until the seventh grade. My teacher at the time who was also dyslexic found out and she started giveing me the colored things to read better. That was all she could offer me. After that year it was back to the norm. Fighting so hard to make just above failing and often failing. My parents thought that being dyslexic was no excuse and I was expected to do just as well as the next kid. I ended up doing some crummy home school course to graduate. Once i was done the thought of going to school was a joke. I would have rather live in poverty than put myself through anymore humiliation. But now time has passed and i have been hearing of all the help that dyslexic people are getting these days. I never heard of people actually helping the dyslexic to a point where they are thriving. I think i would love to go know. I just dont have the fundings. And though i may could get a grant or something like that im afraid of having to pay it back if i fail. Is there funding as well as a help program for the dyslexic to get into? For the first time in a long time I feel a spark of hope and I want to try to get all the information I can. Maybe just maybe i could go back to school and not be afraid. Im still young. Almost 24. So if I try now, i would not feel too too old to go back to school. If anybody knows how to help me please do.
