If you care about your sons/daughters future ….

January 9th, 2009

Dear parents
IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR SONS/DAUGHTER’S FUTURE, PURSUE THE DYSLEXIA ISSUE, AND DO NOT REST UNTILL SATISFIED. I WAS ALSO IN THIS PREDICAMENT, SO I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. I WAS CONSIDERED STUPID, EVEN THOUGH I WAS EXCEPTIONALY BRIGHT IN ENGLISH, AND MUSIC. I BELIEVED PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAID I WAS STUPID, AND I SUSPECT,I COVERED UP MY EMBARASSMENT, BY BEING THE CLASS CLOWN.
THIS COMPOUNDED,THE ‘ ME BEING STUPID COMPLEX.’

HOWEVER, I AM NOW 54, HOLD A DEGREE IN COMMUNICATIONS, AND AM A WORKING PHOTO JOURNALIST. MY POINT IS, IF I HAD BEEN GIVEN EARLY ASSISTANCE, OR MIGHT, I SAY CONSIDERATION, I MAY HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE RIGHT NOW.

HOWEVER, I AM A SUCCESSFUL PHOTOGRAPHER, AND JOURNALIST, AND BIOGRAPHER. SUFFICE TO SAY, I SUSPECT I AM THE PERSON I AM TODAY, BECAUSE OF THE HARDSHIPS I ENDURED IN MY EARLY YEARS… I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK, PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE, AND ABOVE ALL, HAPPINESS.

i have the following.
BComs (journalism / marketing)
Diploma of professional writing and editing
Diploma of advertising copywriting
Diploma in business computing, and software
Certificate in ‘train the trainer’
