My dyslexic experience

I have made a promise to myself to remember that I have started a blog so I will try and update it as often as possible.

Dyslexia has been a part of my life since I was about  7 years old and even before that I remember struggling with reading and writing in school. I didn't learn to read properly until I was 10 and I have always felt there is a huge gap between my peers and through out the course of my education.

When I was a child I thought having dyslexia was the most embarrassing thing in the world. So for a long time I tried to pretend that I wasn't dyslexia and didn't have a problem or need special help with my reading and writing. All through primary school I hated been taken out of class away from my peers to have help with my reading , writing and spelling.

When I got to secondary school they school initially did offer me help but I refused to have help in school. But my parents could still see that I was struggling with keeping up with my peers at school so they sent me to a tutor to help me with my spelling and reading. But I was still very embarrassed that I had to see a tutor to help me spell and read so I used to lie to my friend about where I had to be on Tuesday night after school. I stopped seeing my tutor when I finished my GCSE which I somehow passed. But I did have to work very hard just to get mostly C grade GCSE. Once I recall my English teacher being surprised that I had got a B in the English coursework as she knew that I had dyslexia and she asked me if I had done the coursework myself.

Then I started my A levels and somehow forgot that I had dyslexia and ended up getting 3 B's. Which at the time I thought was a breeze but I didn't realize how had I had worked to get the grades I did. So when I got to university and found myself struggling with all the readings and the coursework I finally stopped denying I didn't have a problem. Now at university is the first time in my life where I have come to understand that I have a problem which is not a burden. But something that I need help and support with. And is a part of who I am.

Having dyslexia is one of the reasons I have started a blog. I want to be able to clearly communicate what I am saying  via writing as recently I have been thinking of becoming a journalist when I eventually graduate form university.

That is why I hope this blog will help me in learning how to write clearly so I can improve my writing skills which I will then be able to use in my university assignments and for a future career.

I just realized I confused had for made in the first line. Because I didn't proof read my bad.

My life is pretty much like a dyslexic man walks into a bra.

I still for ever make spelling and grammar mistakes on Facebook in emails and via text so I always have a fear that people won't grasp what I am trying to convay.

Hope this helps.    

I forgot I started a blog

So I forget I started a blog.
I haven't even been what you would describe as busy because I am a student who only has to attend university 12 hours a week or less. So that is no excuse. So I've pretty much been wasting my time binge watching Tv shows  ( If binge watching tv shows was an Olympic sport I would get the gold medal).
Carrying on with the Tv show theme , I have now decided that I am going give a quick review of my top 5 tv shows.
1. Breaking Bad-
Okay I know that pretty much everyone on the planet has watching this program. I don't know how people can't be sucked into the  universe of Walter White (or heisenberg ). I personally think the character development in this show is great you get to see an ordinary guy transform from a mild mannered chemistry teacher into a big shot drug lord and the highs and lows he encounters along the way.
Also just seeing a caravan makes me think could that be a meth lab ???? You never know....
2. Heroes -
Your probably thinking why mention Heroes didn't that finish in  2010. Yes , yes it did is the answer to that. But I for one was very disappointing with the ending of Heroes there was so many questions that were left unanswered for me.
But it was recently announced that there will be a Heroes Reborn starting in 2015 and I for one can not wait. 3. How I met Your mother-
I didn't know if I was going to include this or the Big Bang theory as that is pretty good too. But how I met your mother won.
This show I found was BETTER than Friends yes I said it. I love the comedy in this at first I thought they are basically ripping off Friends but how wrong I was.
Barney  Stinson is one of the best sitcom characters out there I reckon. Although I think how I met your mother is a great show that 9th season has not been brilliant but it is ending soon and I will be upset when it dose.
I would have been upset if I hadn't met Ted.
4. New Girl-
 Zooey deschanel is brilliant. I am glad I get to see her on Tv every week. Everything with New Girl just works.
Also its a bit hipster and I like it.
5. Anything by Chris Lilley
I used to secretly hate Little Britain. But then I discovered Summer Heights High and it was bloody brilliant. Chris  Lilley dose a great job of emphasizing the funniest characteristic of people and he dose it in such a convincing way I now believe that he is a 17 year old private school girl called Ja'mie.
Summer Heights High I think was his best creation as the characters in that were really memorable so I was glad that it was announced that he would be working on a show called Jonah based on one of his other Summer heights high characters.
Now he just needs to take on Mr G.

So that's all for today folks
and I will try and remember to actually update this blog.
