I am the mentor to Krystal Lamphier. I don't know if this should be brought up to you, the freshmen teachers, or Mrs. Webber, I figured I would just email you and get guidance. Near the beginning of the year she told me that she has dyslexia and is worried of not being able to read or keep up with schooling.

As I grew older, it was discovered that I suffered with Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD. I feel these experiences have shaped my gender and what I identify as.…

    Have you ever felt God call you to do something, and yet brush it aside as though it was meant for someone else? I became enchanted with American Sign Language in high school, when I befriended a Deaf group of students. I now realize I was fascinated by the language because, unbeknownst to me at that time, I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. Any time I saw Deaf people or Sign Language Interpreters in the community, I couldn't help myself but to watch them. By the time I was a mother of two I knew I wanted to be fluent in the language, although finding the time seemed out of the question. After four children and seventeen years of marriage the door to my future career was opened. My marriage had ended and I was responsible for providing a financially stable home for my children.…

    ADHD Personal Statement

    I am an unlikely English teacher. In kindergarten, I was diagnosed with Visual Dyslexia and Hyperactivity Disorder (now called ADHD). I grew up in poverty, and my only means to a Bachelor’s degree was a federal Pell Grant. Learning has been a lifelong passion of mine, thanks to the adult influences in my life, but my path has been a rocky one. I needed special intervention in school. I was unorganized, struggled with graphic learning (maps, math, Social Studies), and worked extra hours to attain the skills I needed to survive in school. None of the influential adults in my life attended college, but a set of encyclopedias taught me that they valued education tremendously. My mother used these encyclopedias as a child, so when we moved, my…
