I've been dyslexic for about 7 years and in fifth year of secondary school .I've started looking into colleges and universities for after the leaving cert you need points to get into the college's and universities. My dream is to study medicine but it's very high points and I don't think I can do it. In my school they don't think I can aswell. I'm worried I won't get anywhere and I won't do well. I'm not sure how to get around it
I didn't find out I was dyslexic until I was 25 and getting in trouble at work for inverting telephone numbers. School was hard and homework took forever but I did well. I have not done much in school and I consistently muck up words, numbers and language.
But I have a rewarding job that I love and an amazing life.
You will be fine.
Talk to someone at school about getting abtutor or helper or a peer counselor who has dyslexia who can help you get on the right track
Good luck!
