I thought that all day this is what I would doing, little did I know that reading would be next. I immediately became anxious and felt a headache coming on. I disliked reading then and still do. My teacher in kindergarden recognized my discomfort very early
Fear and frustration are the first feelings that pop in my heart when I have to write a paper. From dawn to dusk, I feel overwhelmed, inadequate and apprehensive when I have to write. For my agony writing an essay has become my nightmare. I abominate the feeling of staring at a blank piece of paper with the knowledge that I am expected to fill it with creative ideas and appropriable writing techniques. In fact, every time I just hope that my brain will come with something creative that I could start with.
I knew that wouldn’t be the case anymore because I now lived in Dayton. The first school that I attended in Dayton Ohio was Trotwood-Maddison High School. It looked like a big college from the outside witch was intimidating to me. On my first day of school, I was very nervous, because I didn’t know anyone.

A secret I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone because of the fear that if I told my whole family would hate me. I know what a terrible feeling it is to have to hide from the truth.

I just want to live my life without this feeling. It makes me feel frozen like I cant do anything. Im afraid that when the time comes when I need to act, I cant because this feeling is always in the back of my head. Its like a devil trying to make me fail at what I need to do, I feel like it ants me to screw up. I am always waiting for it to try and drag me down.

Literacy Narrative Johanna Eldredge Southern Technical College Jennifer Polk The biggest obstacle that I have encountered in my ability why to read and write are my Learning disabilities. I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Dyslexia and it has caused me much frustration. I has no idea why other kids could read out loud so well and I couldn’t. I had no idea why it took me so long to read a few pages of a book when other kids were almost done with the chapter. I had no idea why I couldn’t even sit down to write a paper when other kids were doing their essays in the span of a couple hours.
Trying to compartmentalize and break it all down into generalized topics to follow made my work become overly stiff and choppy. The hardest writing assignment I could say I’ve ever had was sophomore year in high school. Our government class was assigned a 6 page minimum paper, fully researched with proper citings, the subject matter being microeconomics. I do remember everyone in the class thinking our teacher had dropped his brain on the sidewalk after reading this assignment at the beginning of the semester long class. Having such a broad topic with such overwhelming information, using an outline as the prewriting was necessary to properly write that paper organized well and without incorrect
That weakness of mine is reading. For some reason when I have to read a book or an article of something, I seen to lose all my focus and everything goes haywire. Stuff like that makes me want to quit school but I can’t because quitting school is rubbish.
