Cher's Noneffective Dyslexia

Cher, born in California in 1946, is a woman of many talents-- an actress, a pop singer, a director, and a record producer. Her legacy comprises of many things, including her memoir The First Time and singles like "Strong Enough," "With or Without You," "Still," and more. However, her childhood was full of sadness; she was poor, had no father, and her mother married eight times and could not support the family.

Surprisingly, Cher had the psychological disorder Dyslexia. By the time she was sixteen, Cher dropped out of school and started to act in Los Angeles. She did not regret her decision of leaving school because her life once again changed. At the age of sixteen, she met Sonny, and started a pop/rock duo with him titled "Sonny &Cher." Dyslexia seldom affected her life, aside from her education, as she became quite successful. For example, 100 million of her records have been sold worldwide.

Dyslexia, in my opinion, is a disorder which should not be frowned upon as much. This disorder does indeed affect people's lives, however, they should learn to cope with this disorder. Like Cher, one should have goals in life that are not affected by this issue. For example, someone who has dyslexia should not have ambitions that require extensive English or writing skills.
