| What I did for Thanksgiving was spending time with my family at cruise for 5 days. We all went from LA, San Diego, Catalina Island, to Mexico! Then back to LA. I love being with my family especially my little sister. My vacation with my mind sure did clear up my mind. This semester.... I cannot choose one word to describe my semester. Maybe crazy, good, and bad at once.
Biggest impact this semester is my dyslexia. I don't know if I have it 100%, but I'll find out this winter break. I have this struggle since I was in junior high school, but I thought it's very normal until my High School. I kept avoiding from it and I thought I am all right because I have good GPA. Until I did the research for Development Child class, "Children with Dyslexia". The symptoms pretty match me the most. I broke down one night, its so hard for me. Its time for me to face it... and get help for myself.
Again, and again... I wish I can be like some of people who could express and write in their owns words. I mean.. I can read books and read people's blogs. I understand them very well... because I also have beautiful minds just like them, but I couldn't write well. I remember in High School my reading level and spelling/vocabulary level is four grades apart. People with dyslexia are bad at spelling and have the poor use of vocabulary words, but they usually are good with reading (not of them) and most of them are gifted in math. Well, I'm good with math. I found this from my old entry long time ago...
June 17, 2004: "I always love read my friends' entries. Everybody is different. Few of them made their entries so interesting. One thing that really bothers me is that sometime I always have deep thoughts that I want to share with you guys in beautiful explanation, but something blocks me from doing this. It's like I want to say what I want, but I can't write. You know? I always express my thoughts in plain ways. It can be really frustrating for me. I always want to write a book about my bad childhood and how I rebuilt my life, since I am a boring "writer", I don't know if I want to write a book?"
Janelle's post to this entry... "I understand how you feel about writing. Like one of my favorite authors always said... The best way to write is to write from your heart. No brains involved, please."
This is true... I need learn how to write anything from my heart doesn't matter if I have dyslexia or not. I haven't touched my journals for a long time, but I cannot allow my dyslexia pull me down. During winter break, I shall write again and express whatever I want. Now wonder if my conversations with my friends are very plain because of my dyslexia and my limit to express? Just that many questions popped in my mind. I know I'm strong and I'll face it.
Protests also affected my semester, but it happened for many good reasons. Not at least... Becoming Phi Kappa Zeta sister is best thing have happened to me this semester. I love my sisters so much! LONG LIVE PHI KAPPA ZETA! |
