2. • I’m Anita and I’m 19.
A few months ago I got to know I am dyslexic and
dysgraphic. It was an unexpected information about me I
would have never thought it as I have always had an excellent
school report. I am hard working, but I have some difficulties
in spelling. Solving math tasks is problematic because of my
unpunctual copying the datas from the text. I was believed
thoughtless. Once I filled a test in connection with dyslexia
because I had failed my German language exam 3 times. Just
1 or 2 percent was always missing for my passing it.
3. • When my problem turned out, I was really upset. I felt I was
stupid, I started to keep distance from my friends, I was
afraid of their opinion about my problem. I felt my
achievements were disappeared and I lost my self-confidence.
4. I began making research about dyslexia via internet, and I found info about it
by reading the following webpages:

Is it curse or mercy?
Auguste Rodin, the statuary was also dyslexic, and I realized it was not an
illness, but an other kind of way of thinking, apperception and learning. All in
one it is an other kind of way of processing information.
Thanks for this difference, a part of the dyslexic people are more talented in
some ways than the average people are.
I found a lot of famous and well- known artists, scientists, musicians, politicians
and actors/actresses had to cope with dyslexia.
5. I realized having such problem means not the end of the
world. What I have obtained so far won’t disappear, and
I can significantly do my best in some parts of the life.
I have been playing chess for 8 years and I have taken
part in a lot of competitions. I have taken part in
individual competition in the Students’ Olympic Games
for 3 times playing chess, I have obtained the 9th
placing. In a team we obtained the 2nd placing 2 years
ago. I am a multiple county champion, and I have got the
‚ Woman Chess Player of the Year’ distinction for 3
times.
6. • I have been playing a musical instrument ( I am a
flutist)for 8 years, I attended to a conservatoire as a
child. I was specialized in music in the primary
school. I have a musical basic degree.
I have stepped up many concerts and taken part in
territorial competitions , too.
7. I think the dyslexia is not a disadvantage, nobody has to
be under the weather.
If you have a certificate about it, it makes your life easier
because you won’t feel you are stupid any more.
You can get extra time for completing the exams, your
achievement will be better and you will be calmer. I have
also got them, knowing my problem, I have chosen any
other kind of language exam, and it has been done for the
4th time!
I have spoken about is with my teachers and they have
accepted it. They help me if I need, they give me more
time for the exercises when they notice that I copy the
tasks badly. And the top of all that, so, do my friends.
So if your dyslexia turns out, study from my mistakes and
don’t start to live your life aloof, because nothing will
change, just your problem gets a name.
