A bit of small background. Jessica is dyslexic. The particular way that her dyslexia manifests itself is called Dysadisia. Basically, putting information into her brain is like straining peanut butter. And then getting the information back out is sometimes just as hard. Add to that, her brain does not process information the same way the rest of us do. It's like trying to run a program for a Mac computer on a PC.
Her entire public school career was a nightmare and I fought one battle after another for her and spent countless hours reading her her assignments and retyping her papers so that they said what she wanted them to say with no spelling errors. She earned every single blood stain and sweat drop on her high school diploma.
She took a well deserved year off of school. This fall she enrolled in college in the graphic arts program. Her goal is to major in graphic arts and photography. If you have been here before, you have seen some of her work. Or you can go here and see some of it. If I knew how to get it to play right on here, I would post her Joseph Smith project from about 4 years ago. But I don't know how to make the power point play right on here. But trust me, she is a natural when it comes to this stuff. She has a good eye for design and photography and all that jazz.
And tonight it is not just her mom saying that. I need a picture frame. She just walked in from class and handed me a certificate. This is what it says:
