Joey

July 5, 2018 By Kristen Lapenta

“Growing up I was raised by my grandparents after my father died. Neither of them knew how to read, so when I started struggling with reading in school there was no one I could turn to for help. Little did I know I had dyslexia but back then no one knew what that was. Even though I was falling behind in my reading I still was completing each grade until high school when I fell very far behind and dropped out.  I liked how welcoming and encouraging the tutors were. They were able to help me with my dyslexia and push me to reaching my goals. I always had a passion for learning and when I came to LVGH I met even more people like me and I felt like I was home.”
