A shuttle to your imaginary believes as a child, seeking for a lot of questions but few to be answered. There was a child named Max who believed he could be invisible in a lot of things specially in playing with someone using his own naked eye. His parents didn’t notice it because they just thought it’s a part of growing up in his stage, but Max never knew what would be the next thing to happen until he grew up and still something was not right.
In the mind of Max he thought when reading books from school while doing his homework, a quick open into the pages he looks at a one word and having that playful and cheerful face. Max have a sister that ignore him in a lot of things specially when he is doing weird stuff in front of her, but that time she went to peek on him at the room then his sister noticed that he wasn’t reading he was just staring at the book and played with crayons. From there Max sister started to be annoyed in his condition she doesn’t understand him in any way and she thinks her brother is a freak because he was already 9 years old and still not able to read a simple sentence, spell incorrectly all the time and when playing video games he is perfectly like a pro.
All the teachers of Max told his mom about the behavior Max is showing, they were thinking that in his situation he might be a late bloomer, so they run some test to find ways to solve Max problems. First tutoring him in reading and spelling, few days later the teacher call the attention of Max's mom and explain to her about the leanings of Max.
The teacher explain briefly to Max’s mom that her son is very slow, he can read but too slow and needs more than a practice in his age, then on spelling he can spell but after a few times from a correct word he still misspelled it. The teacher advice's Max’s mom to practice until he can do it and can’t be left behind with his classmates.
Max did everything to learn from his mistakes especially to those words when he read it in ramble. Just like a kid learning to wear a shoe, the right turns out wearing it in the left. Well Max is just like that until he got older, he said to himself why those words run, he read ramble, misspell some words in two letters. But he was a pro in playing video games, he can bit big kids, he is good in strategic way of thinking in advance on how to pass to the next level, he aims high just to achieve victory in his games. Looking for more games until his age is 12 years old. His sister asked him gently how to read this and that but he can’t, she gave him a task if he can read some of the sentences clearly he will be rewarded afterwards.
Few weeks passed she went to his room and he is playing in the computer, but she didn't notice the game he is playing. Slowly walking towards Max she was so surprise for what she saw in the screen, Max is playing Book Worm and got the highest score on it. She got amaze on what she made for her brother, now she let him read the sentence and he got it slowly. There was a lot of improvement on Max since that day, even his parents were shocked on Max.
Max was given a reward after that, they went to the Jollibee and celebrate. Everyone was very happy and enjoying the moment but except for Max. While eating Max is completely in silent even they were at home he still shut his mouth and directly went to his room, everyone have that feeling that there are something that they should do for Max.
Since that day Max grew up and went to college, his sister asked him that what does he thinks when he can’t read before, Max answer her this way:
“actually I still can’t read that fast or understand that very well, while I am in front of a text book with a lot of letters and numbers they are just like dancing or playing, when I spell words I thought it was the exact and correct position of the letters I am writing but those words was ramble, it was all in my mind but when I talk and write it come out wrong and I am tired of being like this.”
His sister was shocked and realizes her brother has a disorder of dyslexia.
“Dyslexia impacts people in varying degrees, so symptoms may differ from one child to another. Generally, symptoms show up as problems with accuracy and fluency in reading and spelling. But in some kids, dyslexia can impact writing, math and language, too. A key sign of dyslexia in kids is trouble decoding words.”
But she helps Max to control it and not to be confused on what he is reading. Until the time goes by Max still fighting the disorder, he also told his girlfriend about it and his girlfriend understand his condition and helped him if he got confused accidentally in any way.
And now Max is happy and blessed for all of his success in life.
