"I couldn't wait for school to finish to start my life. That's how I felt." 

"Knowing that school ends and there is a whole world out there is a bit of a life line. It's quite easy to feel really frustrated with the school system as it's a system that all kids of all abilities have to travel through and when you have vastly different abilities it's maybe not the right system for all kids." -Tom McLaughlin

"It might take you twice as long to do something but that dedication over time will make you a stronger person."

"When a wall gets put up in front of me, I just keep pushing on it until it falls over." -Paul Sawyer

"There's nothing to be ashamed of (being dyslexic). It's by no means degrading. It just means you may need a little bit of extra help and there's nothing wrong with that." -Myles Moye

"Even though sometimes we don't get something which is so easy for other people there are also times when we do get things which are really hard for other people. Hold onto those times.
