I have an older and a younger brother. My older brother made excellent grades and became a highly respected public defender. My younger brother made even better grades and became an ophthalmologist. I made middling to poor grades and wound up as a graphic artist and computer based training designer/watercolor painter.

I never know where North, South, East or West is and I get lost in parking lots and everywhere else. I cannot follow a set of verbal instructions and have to have it written down. I once got out of my car to open a gate at night and as I approached my car, I couldn't for a moment remember where the driver's side was.

I think my problem is some kind of dyslexia, but I have never demanded any special privileges for it. I have learned to compensate and work around it.
