Student Success Story: Tim!

Tim always struggled with reading when he was a child. Because of his difficulties with reading, he was dissuaded from going to college -- but that didn’t stop him from pursuing his dream career in the media. He worked extra hard to climb the ladder in jobs in radio and now broadcast journalism. Tim is driven to succeed and works with an LVNRV tutor on literacy skills so he can understand news releases and write copy for the TV reporters. He also joined his tutor, Vicki Brackett, as a volunteer speaker to talk with families to provide advice on dealing with dyslexia. “I can attack words better. Reading better makes my job easier and I have more confidence in myself!” said Tim. “As someone who's been struggling with reading and writing his whole life and works in a business that’s mostly reading and writing, I’m so thankful. This program has been nothing but a success for me!” Congratulations on your hard work and progress, Tim, and thank you for helping others!
