I haven’t yet. But man there sure is this one college professor I’d love to run into and prove to him how wrong he was.
In fact it was because of HIM and his “you should just drop out of college and stop wasting both of our times” comments that turned me extremely depressed. I actually DID drop out of college. By then my self esteem was shot to shit. Years of being pegged as lazy, unattentive, and stupid had taken a toll on me. Then in 2005 I made an appointment with a specialist and found out I had not only ADHD but an interesting case of Dyslexia which only applied to numbers. (>_<) Did I mention that this particular professor taught college algebra?
Anyways…once I found out what I have it’s like all of the pieces fell into place. I knew what was wrong with me and now I’m learning, day by day, how to not only deal with it but how to embrace it. I’m a college grad and have a degree in Massage Therapy. I’m going back for my pregnancy and clinical specialty and have an amazing family that I wouldn’t trade for the world.
I just hope that one day I get to run into Mr Capmbell and show him a thing or two.
