Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast
Kids & Family
"(My) college essay was about a gift of difference. I looked at it as because I'm different I do things differently. And when it comes to thinking about problems or talking with people about options and what's possible I had a much more vast understanding about what's possible because I wasn't pigeon holed into this one way of thinking. I was given freedom to use my brain, explore and use it to my advantage." -Ben Martynec
