“My English Language Learning Journey” 

Winston Churchill once wrote success is not final, and failure is not fatal. A poignant reminder that success lied in an individuals determination to succeed despite the odds stacked up against us. Diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age, learning had always proved to be a challenging task for me particularly in the field of English. My difficulty in English soon proved to be a mounting obstacle for me, as English became harder to grasp and concepts more difficult to understand over the years and course of my studies. With the large emphasis placed on English as our first language, my parents grew increasingly worried with my persistent struggles in the language. Determined not to let my struggles in the language affect my determination to succeed and through the help and support of my parents whom sought help and found new ways to help improve my English. However, being young and immature at the time I failed to understand the paramount importance of English and my struggles in the language that would once again surface in Secondary School. Once again realizing the stark importance of English in secondary three for my N and O levels and the crucial role it played on my results, I once again turned my focus to doing well in English. This once again sparked my desire to continue improving on the language and my determination not to let my dyslexia in English  and in anything I set my mind to do and prevent me from achieving and attaining success later on in life.
