Reflection Of Reading And Writing

Reading and writing are skills I feel I have learned well enough to get through my education thus far. When I was learning how to read and write, I struggled a bit with the reading aspect. I honestly cannot remember much about my learning process with these skills, but I feel they were always average or above. I remember my parents and teachers were more focused on my learning style and process rather than a specific subject. I was always struggling with my behavior and focusing in class due to my ADHD. I never accepted the fact that I had ADHD until I was graduating high school. Throughout my elementary education my parents and teachers were always pushing me to go into separate classrooms for tests and activities where there would be less

A main reason of why I am not as excited as I could be about reading is due to the fact that I avoided accepting my ADHD for so long.
