Hi yazan, I completely understand your feeling its not easy at all to cope with Dyslexia... I am Middle Eastern as well and it took me 6 years to finish my undergraduate degree here in the UK(it should be 3 years). During my studies I was helping my class mates to understand some modules but in exams i was always failing, and if I get lucky and get sympathy from my lecturers I pass and i get max %51, even my class mates were extremely surprised!! But I got use to it since I was young to get the lowest mark!! Luckily I graduated with a degree in Engineering and Business Management, then I tried to get a job as graduate, but I couldn't because I had to attend an assessment center and bla bla bla.. to get a job! at the end.. the only way was to start my own business and that's how I am surviving now...

My point is, don't compare your self to others on your age!! and believe on your self because eventually you will reach your target, but I have to say it might take you some time to understand your self first and to understand exactly what you want and what your strengths are?!! then build on it.

Good luck

Hey,

i understand where every body is coming from. I have always work labor jobs, climding trees, grocery stores and warehouse. school and well life has always been a challange for me. i never thought i could do any better in life and was just learning to deal with it and work around my issues. I went on a job interview on a wim alomst 2 years ago. i was telling myself that i should at least try. it is one of those jobs that is challaging and hard work, its a corporte job. where almost every body here has a college degree but myself. I knew starting this job my dyslexia and learning problem was going to be a issues but i took the job anyway for a change, a challenge, a new start at a diffent life. Anyway my dyslexia and learning issues came about and i did alot of research for help. Every where i looked said i couldn't do a assessment to figure out where i was educational wise because i graduted high school. I found an organation that helps poeple with dyslexia, learning problems, ADD, and more. The program helps with cogative skills training. If anyone is really looking for real help and answers, i would sugguest looking into a company called LearningRX. i did an assessment to find out where i am and i am starting classes, one on one training tonight as a matter of fact. I have high hope and know it well help me. the program will help with being able to learn something new, retian information, learning will be easier and of course it well help with your and my self asteem and much much more. if any of you are serois and want to grow in life, career and confadance i would high reckameng this program. thank you all your time and good luck.
