Author: Peter a Harrower
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
I have a Learning Disability and Dyslexia. Most of the time I felt like I wasn't normal. I don't think I'll ever be normal. Compared to everybody I felt like an outsider. Kids would always ask why are you in those extra classes and getting extra help? This led to a lot of unwanted attention. That led to more unwanted feelings, embarrassment, and a lack of confidence in myself, which still affects me to this day at 28. Depressed Angry Self-conscious Hated myself Can't read fast Suck at spelling Never thought I would be good enough A Dyslexic kid can't be successful As time went by I was always looking for answers and trying to figure out this game we call life. There was no light at the end of the tunnel for me. It was pitch black and went on and on. As the tunnel kept going, I started to get a little darker and deader inside. In the last few years, I have started to see light at the end of the tunnel. I can run away with my tail between my legs, or suck it up and fight back for once in my life and keep going through the darkness. Average or below average has been what I thought of myself my whole life. I'm now aiming for something bigger and better than average. In the last five years, I have read over 50 books and in the last seven written four books. I decided to turn the page in my own book and turn my lack of skills in reading and writing into a new strength. Life is not a guarantee and life is short. Now is the time to accomplish your goals and start living. This is The World Through My Dyslexic Eyes and how I see it. What does your world look like? Do you know what you want your world to look like? If not, then maybe my unique story can help lead you in the right direction.

Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
From a very young age, I knew there was something more out there in the universe than just us. I could hear or see things that most people could not; something was guiding me through this life journey. I sought to find the answers to the questions that puzzled my mind (Why do we die? What is death? Where do we go?) and then with my own NDE (near-death experience), past life regression, and witness to a soul entering the human body, and the pieces to the puzzle started to fall into place. The understanding came through loving, losing the physical presence of the human body, and learning how to communicate with the other sidebeyond the veil and spirit world. For all of those who believe in life after death and for those who do not believe in life after death, there is a new awakening upon us. Lets open our eyes to all the possibilities our lives have to offer. We are never alone. And so it is.

Far from the Tree
Author: Andrew Solomon
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 1481440918
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Andrew Solomon comes a stunning, poignant, and affecting young adult edition of his award-winning masterpiece, Far from the Tree, which explores the impact of extreme differences between parents and children. The old adage says that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, meaning that children usually resemble their parents. But what happens when the apples fall somewhere else—sometimes a couple of orchards away, sometimes on the other side of the world? In this young adult edition, Andrew Solomon profiles how families accommodate children who have a variety of differences: families of people who are deaf, who are dwarfs, who have Down syndrome, who have autism, who have schizophrenia, who have multiple severe disabilities, who are prodigies, who commit crimes, and more. Elegantly reported by a spectacularly original and compassionate thinker, Far From the Tree explores how people who love each other must struggle to accept each other—a theme in every family’s life. The New York Times calls the adult edition a “wise and beautiful” volume that “will shake up your preconceptions and leave you in a better place.”
