I need to achieve this

Visible to anyone in the world

From primary one I was already labelled. I struggled to read and write, I just couldn't keep up with my peers. All the way through primary school I was removed from class to have 'learning support'. I was labelled a bit slow....

The intelligence of others has always fascinated me, people can be amazing!  Why do I struggle to understand? What's different about my brain, is intelligence innate? 

This label of being a bit slow has stuck. It's a battle with myself to believe I can be more than I expect or change the preconceived ideas of others. 

Getting this degree is my Everest, I just have to keep climbing.

Whooop whoop...
