A few months ago I decided to look up the meaning of dyslexia. I can�t convey my astonishment in finding that just about every dyslectic trait person may have, mirrors the challenges I faced all my life. I somehow manage to complete grade school, high school and at 29, college. Throughout my career in engineering, I solved many issues, and by thinking outside of the box I was able to invent new design concepts. But not all was perfect. I was frustrated because I could have further advanced the technology if I was a better communicator. I now wonder if I had known I was dyslectic then, could I have been able to work around the issues that held me back. I did enjoy working in the engineering environment.
