Louisiana by Cheyenne - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

I Cheyenne Mosher have decided to begin a closer and better relationship with God this year in 2016, in my life in order to become a better student. I know you are wondering how is she going to become a better student by having a better relationship with God? In order for you to truly understand I’m going to have to tell you a little more about me.
As a child I struggled to do math I always made stupid mistakes and I always struggled in math, spelling and reading. I never knew why I always tried hard and never gave up. Until seventh grade one of my teachers observed me and watched all my mistakes, she sent me home one day with a letter to give to my parents. In that letter was a recommendation letter to get tested at the school board for dyslexic. I took the test at the school board not to long after that and came to the conclusion I do have dyslexia.
Some people don’t understand what it’s like to have dyslexia, knowing you have it changes your life. At first I was sad and didn’t know what to do I had a learning disability that made me different from the rest of my classmates. It made me feel like I didn’t belong, then I got put in a special class. This class was to help me learn different ways to learn and how to spell and do math better. When I found out about this class I was nervous, but my first day in there made me not feel alone there were many like me. Now I found a way to cope with dyslexia and I am amazing at math but still working on the whole spelling and reading thing.
You may be asking how this deals with me now but it does. Even though I’ve learned to cope with dyslexia it still sets me apart from others. I’ll read out loud in class and mess up in the first sentence. I am one of the top students in class but when one of my classmates asks me to spell something I can’t and I feel embarrassed. I hate reading out loud and I hate spelling but it’s because I’m not good at either of those and I want to be.
Now this is where God comes in. See even when I don’t fit in I do, even when I mess up in front of everyone I still feel successful, even when I feel embarrassed I and proud. That’s because I have a God that loves me, and is proud of me no matter what. He finds successes in everything that I do. See I want a better relationship with him so when I go back to school with all new classes I still feel the same. So when I feel any negative way in or outside of school I’m successful because my God is successful and I’m proud because he is proud of me. This way of thinking will help me to not give up in class when I get frustrated because I have a wonderful God backing me up.
