I thought that I had it but was naver tested for it. 2 years ago I was working at the airport as a fuller for 8.25 an hr. I messet up my right arm and had to have 2 operations on it. Here in CA the state payes 15000.00 for rehab. I said that I wated to go back to callege for my MS in MBA/HRM after I told the counsoler about my right arm and that I thank that I have dyslexia she sent me to be tested. I can now say after all these years that I do have dyslexia. And for the 1st time in my life I feel batter about my self.
