I Believe...
LD = Learning Difference
-
By diagnosis – yes I have a learning disability.
-
By law – yes I have a learning disability.
-
When I talk to professors, counselors, and staff – yes I use the term, learning disability.
-
My self-perception – I have a learning difference.
-
I choose to have a difference and not a disability.
-
When you label yourself – you disable yourself.
-
When you think differently – you feel differently.
“Knowing others is wisdom. Knowing yourself is enlightenment.”
-Lao-Tzu
I Believe...
reading and writing have nothing to do with intelligence.
-
Realize that to have a true L.D. you must have normal to above-normal intelligence.
-
Reading and writing have a lot to do with success, but nothing to do with intelligence.
-
Work to improve your reading and writing skills each day.
-
… but, never let the words and sentences bog you down or bring you down.
-
Don’t let what you cannot do well (reading, writing or math) interfere with what you can do well – think critically.
-
Everyone has different talents – appreciate yours.
“Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare.”
-Harriet Martineau
