Do you guys know I’m dyslexic? I am and I’m not ashamed of it. I was diagnosed when I was around 8. I was diagnosed was because my teacher told my mom I was stupid (maybe not those exact words). The doctor that diagnosed me told my mother, “You are lucky. The dyslexia is slowing her down to our level. If she didn’t have it she would be driving all of us crazy.”
I tell you this because many of you are being judged at career fairs the same way this 2nd grade teacher judge me … based on a test score or GPA. Don’t let those fools judge you because of a number. You are more than that. You are the best there is. Your GPA is a reflection of who you were back then, it has nothing to do with what you are capable of tomorrow.
