I second that. I have dyslexia as well, but I got past it the same way Patton did. If it's been twice as hard for me to get by, then I simply worked three times as hard to make up the difference.

Great men are not great because of the things that are easy for them, but for the things which are hard for them that they do anyway.

Ditto

I attended eye training for three years as a child. Its not only about working hard but its also about no excuses. I had a great family that understood the illness and they would have no part in enabling me.

I started off school as a D student. My senior year in High School I made the honor role twice.
