Writing has continuously been a challenge for me. When I was in elementary school, I was assigned to a writing specialist because I had immense difficulty spelling. Although, my reading retention was very good, which made me somewhat of a mystery for the teachers. As I progressed, I mastered spelling— for the most part.
