General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: My high school counselor said I wasn't "college material". Well, guess who passed the CA bar exam? [View all]chillfactor
(7,576 posts)I was told I would never make it college. When I did get into college, I had a great instructor who had faith in me because he felt I was so motivated. After I took some of his test, he discovered that I flunked the sections that were true and false, multiple choice, and short answer. But give me an essay question and I hit the nail on the head. he referred me to another professor who tested for learning disabilities. He discovered I had a severe learning disability that my brain could not process some information. He wrote a report that he shared with my instructors about my learning disability and said I had to have only essay questions in tests. That one instructor was my first on my educational journey that ended with my earning a doctorate degree in education. I dedicated my dissertation to him.
So congratulations on your achievement...
.bless you for never giving up.
