"I grew-up believing that I was lazy, stupid and a troublemaker. I believed this because, this is how teachers and other children in my class treated me. The older I got the more isolated I became with very few friends. No one wanted to be friends with the troublemaker. What I did not know then was that I am dyslexic.
