  2. I think i was successful in acting even though i have dyslexia because i kept working at it. I got help to learn my lines and i got reall good at getting the people to talk about the film and the characters so i could have an idea of what to say. I would tell teens who want to be an actor and have dyslexia to not give up. If you really want to be an actor then you're going to have to work at it. Get help with your lines and get out into the world and make something of yourself.

  3. I think I am a successful athlete because I worked hard since I've been young and always have had a dream to play football. I had the drive to keep playing even though I had to face the media and the being out of pro football for 21 months. I would tell teens to follow there dreams and to not let stupid stuff get in the way. I would tell them to try to do what they feels whats right.

    I would tell them to keep away from drugs. they bring nothing but more challenges that make life harder than it has to be. To not follow the crown and to be your own person. Be the person that you want to be.

  5. I think that i am successful because I faced my disability head on. I accepted it and overcame that adversity to for-fill my dreams and help others believe in their dreams as well.

    I would tell teenagers, who are also deaf, or have any other disability that in order to achieve their dreams they need to accept their difference and use it to their advantage and work hard.
