Ha! What do you know? It’s not dyslexia but attention deficit that was my greatest learning obstacle. Speaking with an expert and being properly evaluated has answered so many questions. In a few weeks from now, I’ll receive the full report and the final consultation for my neuropsychological evaluation, which will help me get the proper help for my academic journey. I feel such relief to find out what has held me back from performing in school all along.

The exercises were simple yet targeted and revelling. My evaluation doctor was sweet and very curious to know about my life experiences. He was so happy to talk to someone who also had travelled to Africa and was so intrigued by my career path. I received the great compliment that my life was unique and interesting from a professional who’s met hundreds of people. I’m humbled and touched. Fear has always been by my side, but I dared to try and even if my successes are scarce, I lived fully. He confirmed that I wouldn’t have any problems studying in university since my capacity for deduction and my eagerness to learn will take me as far as I wish.

I’ll further investigate the ramification of attention deficit and depression since I’ve learned today they are intertwined. It will give me new tools to improve my mental health and orient my efforts towards better treatment. Knowing my quality of life will improve significantly is comforting. It might be difficult to learn calculus, but it will be a little less hard with the help of psychology.

Gratitude Journal:

I’m grateful for the hospitality of my dear friend S.
