Word Games

unedited: my family loves to play word games such as banana grams and hanging with friends and other such things. i do not enjoy these games much because i can never win i am always in last place. witch makes it frustrating for me because like the rest of my family i am very competive so i often wont play cuz i see no reason to play a game i can never win. what makes winning hard is that when i see the letters i do not immadatly try and reorgnize them into a word i try to make a word from the existing patterns. i could have the poential for a great word and never know it. this also makes computer word games hard as well cuz the computer only takes the correct spelling at least in non computerized games i can prentend i am doing well in computerized games it can take me from five to ten minnets to find a word witch can be frustrateing. there are many other things to witch this consecpt applies like in school when i am typeing on my phone i will often stump spell check even when im on my computer i will do that and that can be enoying as well if it wasent for my friend who sits next to me in english i would have an even harder time in class than i already do.

Edited: My family loves to play word games such as banana grams, hanging with friends and other such things. I do not enjoy these games much because I can never win. I am always in last place, which makes it frustrating for me because like the rest of my family, I am very competitive. So I often won't play cause I see no reason to play a game I can never win. What makes winning hard is, that when I see the letters, I do not immediately reorgnize them into a word. I try to make a word from the existing patterns. I could have the poential for a great word and never know it. This also makes computer word games hard as well because the computer only takes the correct spelling. At least in non-computerized games, I can pretend I am doing well. In computerized games, it can take me from five to ten minutes to find a word which can be frustrating. There are many other things to which this concept applies; like in school when I am typing on my phone, I will often stump spell check. Even when I'm on my computer, I will do that, and that can be annoying as well! If it wasn't for my friend, who sits next to me in English, I would have an even harder time in class than I already do.

Questions

uneditted: recently i have gotten a comment asking me some questions i hope that this post can answer some if not all of those questions. the first question was what i am going to do about the ACt and the SAT. because i am a sophmore i have not yet taken ether test but i have taken the plan and the psat on bouth tests there were no essays so i diddent have any problems they were all bubbles excpt for a few of the math questions witch leads to the next question they asked they asked if dysgraphia affected me in math it does not for the most part the only problem i have is small and now only happenes occashonaly witch is  i switch my 9's and p's because when i hand write they look simlar i also occoshonally will mix up x and y because they are also simmlar when i hand write i will extend the short arm of the y and it will look like an x then i will add the x's togher and it will skew the answer other than the occashonal messup i do very well in math. the accomdations i have felt are useful are being able to use my phone to type on because on spell check. i also find it useful to have one or two friends around that can help me when i need it but i believe the most helpful thing of all is editing it with my mom when ever she edits something i am right there so i can try to learn from my mistakes it doesnt help all the time but when a test comes i will always remember her comments on any grammer or spelling issue i have had in the past. they also asked how i print my work at school the answer for that is easy i dont my phone is a smart phone and has internet so i will check my work for spelling ask my friend to check my grammer and then email the work to my teacher. i hope this post has answered your questions if you have any more please ask i love being able to answer the questions for once instead of being the one asking them.

Edited: Recently, I have gotten a comment asking me some questions. I hope that this post can answer some, if not all, of those questions. The first question was, what am I going to do about the ACT and the SAT?  Because I am a sophomore, I have not yet taken either test, but I have taken the PLAN and the PSAT. On both tests, there were no essays so I didn't have any problems. They were all bubbles except for a few of the math questions. Which leads to the next question they asked. They asked if dysgraphia affected me in math. It does not for the most part. The only problem I have is small, and now only happens occasionally, which is I switch my 9's and p's because when I hand write, they look similar. I also occasionally will mix up x and y because they are also similar when I hand write. I will extend the short arm of the y and it will look like an x then I will add the x's together, and it will skew the answer. Other than the occasional mess-up, I do very well in math. The accommodations I have felt are useful are being able to use my phone to type notes or assignments on because of spell check. I also find it useful to have one or two friends around that can help me when I need it. But I believe the most helpful thing of all is editing it with my Mom. Whenever she edits something, I am right there so I can try to learn from my mistakes. It doesn't help all the time, but when a test comes I will always remember her comments on any grammar or spelling issue I have had in the past. They also asked how I print my work at school. The answer for that is easy, I don't. My phone is a smart phone and has internet. So I will check my work for spelling, ask my friend to check my grammar, and then e-mail the work to my teacher. I hope this post has answered your questions. If you have any more, please ask. I love being able to answer the questions for once, instead of being the one asking them.
