This I Believe: Accomplishing Big Things in Small Pieces ~ William Wissemann



Read or listen to the following essay found on the This I Believe website, "Growing up with dyslexia, William Wissemann learned how to break down words and sentences into smaller parts so he could understand them. As he got older, Wissemann found this skill useful for solving everything from Rubik's Cubes to life's tricky puzzles."  Dyslexia is a term for disorders that make it difficult to learn to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols.  How did Wissemann's success with the Rubik's Cube serve as an impetus to fight to attain his goals despite his learning disability?
