To
all of you out there with gremlins ...
The
day I saw the advert it came home to me that I had to do something
about my own gremlins.
This
was the day I rang Stroud College to find out about how and where
I had to go and see about courses to help me with my reading and
writing.
To all the people out there with gremlins in the closet - if
you admit you have got a problem there are courses to help you.

I was
given the telephone number of basic skills classes at Stroud and
Dursley colleges. So
I rang Dursley College to make an appointment to see Anna Stephenson
about how to go about getting on a course.
She
said I would have to go to Stroud College to see if I had dyslexia.
I had the test on 25th February 2002 at six o'clock.
The
test proved I had a reading, writing and spelling problem, so I
started a course at Dursley College on a Tuesday night at six o'clock
to eight o'clock each week.
I have
been going to Dursley College for about one year.
I have
to learn how to make up words and spell words.
I think
in the year I have been going to the basic skills classes I can
spell a lot more words and my reading is getting better.
I'm
someone who has found a whole new angle on life through a stupid
advert on the telly which sparked it all off.

I have
had the same test last week as I had the day I started the course
and it has proved I am getting better, so it proves to all the people
out there with gremlins in the closet - if you admit you have got
a problem there are courses to help you.
It
goes to show there are people out there to help all of you.
I'm
someone who has found a whole new angle on life through a stupid
advert on the telly which sparked it all off!
Since
starting his course Kevin's confidence has grown and he has been
promoted to leading hand at Mastertaste in Dursley.
