Show #30 “A passion for knowledge and increasing awareness about dyslexia.”
Two high school students from a small town in Texas began
working on a school project about Dyslexia. They soon began to
feel an overwhelming passion about Dyslexia because one of the
participants Lily was diagnosed at a young age. To expand
knowledge about Dyslexia and the issues that many students face
they decided to start the 1-in-5 necklace campaign. 1-in-5 people
suffer from Dyslexia.
Lily just graduated from Midlothian Heritage High School. During her senior year she joined FCCLA and decided to do a STAR EVENT with her best friend, Genesis. After, throwing around many ideas they chose Dyslexia as their topic to compete in the advocacy category. As the project went on more and more opportunities presented themselves. Lily will be attending Tyler Junior College in the fall under General Studies for her first year. She also just got a job working for American Dance and Drill Team.
Genesis is a senior in High School. Last year I was president of FCCLA and decided to a STAR event project with Lily. We took our passion and determination and put it all into our Advocacy Project titled Decoding Dyslexia. This project brought home first at regionals and state. We also had the opportunity to participate in the National FCCLA conference. After a week in Anaheim California we were honored to receive a Gold medal and the highest score within our event in the Nation.
