Ive been through scenes like that all my life. You see, even though Im seventeen and a junior in high school, I cant read because I have dyslexia. Im told I read at a fourth-grade level, but from where I sit, thats not reading. You cant know what that means unless youve been there. Its not easy to tell how it feels when you cant read your homework assignments or the newspaper or a menu in a restaurant or even notes from your own friends.
