I did the same with my son... who got into USF for engineering, with a 6.1 high school GPA. I am a public speaker and love to zap anyone with the "I can do it" attitude about life long learning.

Dear Parent, being dyslexic usually has nothing to do with your child's intelligence, although unfortunately many Dyslexic students are treated unfairly by peers and school personnel, nor does it mean the child is lazy.
