Dominic Took
About Me
Dyslexia

Since an early age Dominic had problems reading and writing. Even though Dominic wasn't aware of this until his Mother forced the schools to look at him more closely.

Being diagnosed at such an early age made it easier to access some of the help given to dyslexic students. Such as extra time in exams and assisted learning.

But for Dominic Dyslexia isn't as much a hindrance as another perspective. But he doesn't need to just say this, history has allowed us a keen view of why this is true also. With great dyslexics such as Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci we can see that these people, due to their altered view of the world around them, changed the world forever. Dominic does have ambitions to work on a large scale in most of the things he does. But it is about altering peoples perspectives through fiction and other mediums that is most interesting to him.

Ever since I was a child I wrote stories, whatever they might have been. I originally wrote them in my head and then later on I sought to writing them down. I enjoyed toying with ideas of rebirth and the supernatural or fantasy like events. These came in many varieties, from ghost storeys, to strange events and dark fiction.

Though it was not until Dominic started to put these ideas down onto paper that he saw what he might be able to do with them. "I understood that i could now try and convey ideas of the imagination and intense emotion, on paper. That was where my real love of writing came in. I could write these ideas down and whilst writing, challenge myself to get better and better and better at them. I still love that pursuit today.

The one key factor in all the things I have done however has not been Dyslexia or writing. It has been clear and sharp determination, to deliver something, no matter what happens, no matter how many people or things hold you back. Having Dyslexia helped incredible, because of how I was treated by some Teachers and also peers. But I know that without it, none of my achievements would have happened.
