Dyslexia-cixelsyd My Unique Prospective.

I don’t know whether I will every beat dyslexia because I am now 51 and I am still struggling with it at times, especially without the computer spell check system. Around 1993 was the first time when I found out that I had the symptoms of a learning disability. Prior to that I’d struggle along doing my academic studies for machine shop engineering. I would late switched to Fine Arts Photography and even tried some Art Education teaching. Now I am in my mid-way point in life some will say, yet I am about to return to University to study for my MA in photography and I don’t plan on stopping there, I will seek to obtain my PhD and prove to all that, the one they once thought was dumb have achieved one of his dream.

I was born in Jamaica and back then when one has learning issues often times others would be very abusive. I even got kick out of high school twice for failing to meet the academic standards. Some years later while attending the NYC School of Visual Arts, I got on the honour roll and was even offered a scholarship because of my academic excellent. Yeah, it was a surprise to me too.

Even more of a surprise is the fact that within the last 4 years I have written and published 27 poetry books and 27 ebooks. Oh yeah, a few spelling errors may be found in them, lol! Still it’s an accomplishment many have yet to achieve.

I am not the best poet in the world and even though everyday I still struggling with dyslexia, I don’t let it stop me from working towards my dream. Which is to one day establish my own art institutions one day..
