六、阅读表达。〔人与自我——自我成长〕
I am Samuel. When I was a child, I had to go to a special education school because of my dyslexia(阅读障碍症). People around me always told me that I was different and that I couldn't do something that normal kids did when I was young. Few of them were willing to encourage me.
At the age of 5, I started to go to that special school called People of Appraisal. Although that special school helped me a lot with my communication skills, I still wanted to be a normal kid in a normal school. At the age of 7, I was in the 1st grade in Creswell Elementary School in Opelousas, Louisiana. I became an excellent student and my life began to change for the better that year.
Although I have dyslexia, I always keep trying in my life and don't let others influence me. Now I am a 37-year-old college freshman and an excellent student in my college. Now I do believe in myself and I know that I will succeed in anything I do if I try. I've learnt that patience goes a long way. Now I don't need to know my disadvantages and what I can't do from others.
