Episode 7: Growing Up Religious: School, Survival & Finding My Voice (Part 2)
In Part 2 of this story, I talk about what learning looked like growing up in my household — from homeschooling and being punished for mistakes, to discovering later in life that I had mild dyslexia.
I also reflect on the role my sister played in teaching me to read, the complicated feelings of being the fifth of nine children when my mom originally only wanted two, and how those experiences contributed to the depression I struggled with later.
Even within difficult memories, there are moments of gratitude and resilience that helped shape who I became.
