Quote: I realized that if I was ever going to learn to read I would have to teach myself.
Response: This quote has struck me very hard. I have met a younger boy who suffered from dyslexia. He would always just give up on reading anything or even typing a message on his cell phone. With no support from others he simply started to give up hope on ever learning to read. Today they have diagnosed his disability and are giving him the help that he needs. His grades have approved and he is starting to read more and more. This story of a boy reminded me so much of that young man.

It's great to see people overcome these problems that are so difficult to live with. Good post and epic picture.
