If you consider Albert Einstein, the man who failed general mathematics, his life was ruled to be eccentric. The word eccentric was applied to him AFTER he became known for his intelligence. Truth is, there are many Einstein's in this nation; however they are suppressed by the criticisms of their peers. This pain may take a lifetime to relinquish; particularly, if the dyslexic person never finds a mentor. Imprisonment, a mind within itself, shall remain painful-as is the absence of success. Learning to read and write gives us a start to move toward a life worth living, an opportunity to know what the possibilities are and, yet nevertheless, continued isolation-no matter how poplar we are.
