Bragging cousin

*hug*

i don't know how to relate to people with dyslexia... but you're doing a good job! don't let people discriminate your learning disability(?)!

 

tell them you are seeing textbooks and literatures? XD

 

Congrats on getting accepted! I hope you are able to show them you can do anything you put your mind to

 

Pfft... Undergrad difficultly compared to Law School and Grad School is nothing. He need's a slap across the face.

yeah, i am told undergrad is easier than grad school lol

 

Sorry - my ipad keeps randomly reposting that message for some reason. I think it may be an apple ploy to make me stamp on this, and then order the new ipad. Not gonna work lol.

I dropped out of school before I could finish my course - I'm now doing a degree course via distance learning. It's heavy going, what with work and all, but it's doable. Good luck with your studies

 

I understand where your coming from my sister is perfect according to everyone else and shes always done well in school, I'm nowhere near doing as well as she has and probably won't be but when my family nags me I just tell them I'm not my sister I'm trying my hardest and it's pretty damn good!

 

I can read fine, but my hand writing is truly awful & my spelling without a spell checker is terrible, as is my grammar most of the time.
The best thing to happen to me, has been the internet & spell checkers. I can now write almost literately.
But don't let others make you feel that just because you are dyslexic, you are stupid FunnyMonkey. I took & passed the Mensa exam with IQ of 149..OK so with minimum IQ being 148, I just scrapped it. But I know that even if I can't spell or write to an acceptable standard, I'm not stupid & I can see that neither are you.
Plus something you have worked for against the odds & gained via hard work, is so much sweeter than what others gain from natural ability.

 

You can do it!
One of my good friends is a dyslexic gay guy, and he's just made it through Social Work and gotten a full-time job. It takes patience, hard work, charisma, dedication and courage to get into and then through college, but you can do it too. Don't let people who claim bragging rights drag you down at all.

You're a lot stronger than you think. And you will show them that on the day that you get accepted into, and then graduate from college.
Best of luck

 

I think its brilliant that you are bettering yourself as well as holding down two jobs .:eusa_clap

 

I've had a bragging cousin all my life so I completely understand. Although it doesn't seem like she's bragging per se, but your family bragging for her? (asking how you're doing in college when they know you aren't in, etc) Anyways, I totally get it.

Congrats on getting accepted. Show them what you can do, but more importantly show yourself what you can do.

As for now, try not to let it bug you (Easy to say, I know!) if they continue to bring it up, just know that your time will come!

 

That's kinda mean how they are making fun of u in a way end u have a learning disorder in sorry to hear that but u got into a collage and u can now say hahaha

 

Well done for going to College.Dyslexia shouldn't stop you from learning but you might just need a bit more support than the other students.The important thing is to ask for help when you need it.
As I lecturer I can only help my students if I know what their needs are...and I have been giving extra help/tuition to dyslexic students,so have an idea about what's needed.
