I have always struggled with spelling. It has been a challenge to figure out how to spell long words, that seem to never end. When writing essays and papers for school I will have family members and friends read and reread them just to make sure my spelling is okay. I will use small words for fear of accidentally misspelling a word. Being a terrible speller is completely normal. Many people struggle with issues spelling daily and some of them are never able to overcome their spelling disability. The struggles of being a terrible speller:
Someone asks how to spell a word and you just nod a smile.
You post Instagram photos with the wrong spelling of words.
Luckily some friend will let you know a day later so you can fix it, but pretty much the whole world has already seen it.
You hate peer editing in class because you know that your paper will have so many errors.
Spell check is the greatest invention
You don't understand why it is "i before e" because sometimes the e comes before the i.
Spelling bees make your head hurt.
When someone spells something wrong, but you spell it right it is the greatest victory.
You will probably always struggle with spelling, but luckily there is spell check. It has saved your life a couple times. You can't imagine what you would do without it. Another life saver is voice control because you are able to say anything into your phone and it types it for you. These little things manage to make your life just a bit easier. When you are asked to write a paper and it must be handwritten, you will spend hours make sure every word is correctly spelled because it is important to you. The struggle of being a terrible speller is real, but over time when you spell something correctly it is the biggest achievement.
