Hartbeat Productions, Perfect World Pictures & Universal Pictures produced this funny movie about a guy, Kevin Hart, who went through life without unknowing he was dyslexic.

I was so happy to see this film. This allows people around the world to see the struggles and hurdles one with dyslexia faces. (its not a scientific or a perfect depiction of every dyslexia- and that's ok) the purpose here was to tell this story, make people laugh and better the work by highlighting what 1)20% of the world population may go thru in one shape or another 2)How someone can make a difference in a life of another person by noticing and caring that another person has so much more potential.

In this episode I focus on Tiffany Haddish, Carrie the night school teacher. She was the x-factor here. without her Teddy (Kevin Hart) would have continued going through life not realizing that he was "special" for his strengths rather than a loser for his disability or inability to function the way his family, school and world expects. (Kind of like telling a lefty, try harder dude...)

I was fortunate to have a seasoned kindergarten teacher point out to my mom that here is a boy who is passionate and loves to learn, knows a TON of information yet can't find his name on his cubby. She noticed me for my abilities and knew that something else was needed to help me succeed. 

[On a less positive note, when my mom found out and started researching what options one has as a students, a local therapist friend of our family told my mom 'ohhhhh,  too bad. dyslexia is sooo hard to live with. not sure what he'll amount to' - my mom was both crushed by this hurtful portrail of her reality for her son and determined to help her son get the tools he needed to succeed in life. "Thanks mom for always believing in me and helping me thrive without the world's negative shackles."]   

Thank you Kevin Hart and company for brining awareness and giving us all more good reasons to laugh! you rock
