Mommy and me, with my old friend: Learning Disablities...

[dj_madusa]

Let me say something about myself. Ask a young child, I would have problems in class, weather it's math or doing homework. For a good part of my life, I would sometimes wonder why i could never do any of my homework right, or follow directions. In most families, one's parent(s) would always be there to support and help their child with simple

Growing up with that kinda problem can be tough, especially when your family (and teachers) don't know how to handle it. My brother has a slight reading/writing learning disability (to this day, when he writes something down quickly, the letters get all scrambled). I remember having to practice with him which I hated and he hated and never got anything done. My mother was really patient with him, and maybe that did make a difference, but in the end he still receives low grades whenever spelling is a factor.

If there's no support to be gained from them, don't try. Be your own motivation, it'll help you learn stuff better than hoping to get something that just won't come. Just remember that one day, when it all pays off and you're successful, you let them know that it sure as hell wasn't their doing.

It had to explain what it is but Jury Duty is when you are summoned to the court house and get involved with a legal case. If you you don't attend without a valid reason, you could get arrested for civil disobedients.

*sigh* well until that day come when im on my own, i just got to hang in there v.v

hm... well, I know someone who also had such hardships, but she is a really optimistic person. As someone who also had a learning disability she came pretty far, now that she is studying biology with us and has gotten even so much better than the best of us. ^^ I can say I am proud of her
