Beating the Odds!

Not sure when I finally realized I had dyslexia, it may have been in the 90’s.  At that time I was working in a fairly big corporation and moving up that corporate ladder slowly but surely.  I had become a product manager, my expertise was founded in an awesome knowledge of how computers work and speak to one another and my people management skills.  I was known for taking swift action when necessary.

As the days wore on at work I found that my issue of reversing numbers got worse in the afternoon.  Do you find that?  I started to adjust when I worked on the accounting end of things.  I started to avoid working on our personal book-keeping in the evenings as I would make too many errors.

Also at this time I hardly read at all.  If I did I would read three-six pages before having to put the book down, because some of the sentences I had to read half a dozen times to make sense of what the words were trying to say.

All this said, though, I beat the odds!  Without a college degree I managed to become part of the upper level management with responsibilities for budgets of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For all you parents out there that are worried about their dyslexic children, there is hope and they too can beat the odds and will live and succeed with dyslexia!

Here’s to your prosperity,

Jane
