Dyslexia Awareness Week 2015: Day 2
Tuesday 6th October 2015.
Allow me to introduce to you the second of my seven, 2015 fabulous dyslexics!
Each dyslexia awareness week (starting last year) I intend to feature 7 of my favourite inspirational dyslexics form the past year: I ask them a set of questions (slightly adjusted depending on age and occupation) to which they provide the answers.
I hope you find their answers as interesting and enjoyable and that they inspire you as they have me!
My day 2 Positively Unique local dyslexic is a fabulous young lady who has an abundance of talent: she is also a Dyslexia information Day Young Volunteer, and is never short of a smile or a creative idea, she is an absolute delight!
Name: Elizabeth
Age: 12
Occupation: Student

When did you find out you were dyslexic? : Age aprox. 7
How did you feel when you found out you were dyslexic? : I think I was shocked but then it all made sense why I had been struggling at school.
What difference has it made, if any, to your life since you found out? : Learning has been easier since I’ve had support, and I feel more confident.
What advice would you offer to other dyslexics? : Work hard and persevere and you will get to where you want to be in the end.
What do you do to relax/what are your hobbies? : I love doing art, making things, watching films, swimming, badminton – but not reading books!
Anything you want to add? : I quite like being different from everybody else! 🙂
