A dyslexic lawyer-to-be

For some odd reason, I researched dyslexia online.

My mom told me I was dyslexic when I was a child. According to her, I would go home from school crying that I couldn't read. It took me longer than other kids to learn to read, due to my condition.

I had thought that my difficulty in learning to read was the only side-effect of my condition. However, my research has shown that I have other conditions that are asymptomatic to dsylexia.

I have difficulty distinguishing right from left. I have bad short term memory but excellent long term memory (which makes sense considering how I find it so difficult to memorize provisions). I have difficulty with math. I have a lot of trouble with spelling and normally don't realize typographical errors in things i write. Dyslexics usually have improved spatial memory, which makes sense considering I have an excellent sense of direction. I have some difficulty speaking, I often stutter and sometimes mix up my syllables. Also, dyslexic people tend to have messy bedrooms (which i have) and have diffuclty tying shoelaces (which i do). I also tend to misread my words which is also a symptom.

Lastly, people with dyslexia often have a very tight writing grip (which i have) and have difficulty writing in a straight horizontal line (me!!)

So apparently, these little quirks of mine are there for a reason. Huh. Who would've thunk. The symptoms are so erring correct that it's almost spooky.

And despite all these, I'm supposed to be a lawyer one day? Huh. Good luck to me.

On the bright side, dyslexic people are supposedly very artistic. For instance, Ansel Adams (photography god), Leonardo di vinci and Van Gogh were all supposedly dyslexic.
