Some Channel Changes and a Health Update! 😊 (basically I talk a lot) 

Ditto this, and I like a nice talking video too

I don't like shorts either. I feel cheated. I only watch them to support my favorite youtubers.

Yay! I am super excited too!

I am so thankful that I have a job that I can rearrange to fit myself and my family, and that is because of all of you who watch and support me! Thank you😊

@@BentleyHouseMinis I believe that when we focus on what's important, good things come out effortlessly and, with you focusing on your family, what else are we going to expect? 😁💙 As Prince Arthas say in Warcraft 3, "Thread lightly". 👍💯

Thank you so much😊 I know it will be a wonderful adventure!

And it conditions our minds for instant gratification... I admire your restraint!

I'm right there with you on that thought 1000%!!!

Your not the only one.

Thank you Jenny!! I don't always feel super lol! But I am hopeful that making these changes will definitely help the transition so things can be super in the future. I appreciate it!

What a great comment. So true.

Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me❤️❤️

You’re so correct, I was homeschooled before I eventually went to secondary and high school. Before the world had even heard of the internet. Because Mom homeschooled us both it helped me in more ways than we realised at the time. By the time I was ready to go to secondary school I was pushed forward by 2 years. I finished high school at the age of 15, I was also going to collage at the same time. I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 24, for both words and numeric formulas concerning algebra. Words were never a problem for me as Mom taught me my a.b.c. She knew there were issues but back in the late 60’s early 70’s dyslexia was not very well known. We worked hard with it to the point I knew what I was seeing was not what was written. At the age I was I learnt basic maths to medium maths. Mom left the hard maths to the secondary and high school to teach me. I just was never able to figure out algebra drove me insane. As long as it was based in reality I was fine but algebra oh boy I grew to hate maths. I was sent on a training course after I separated from my husband when I was 23 years old we were married just after my 17th birthday. The training course sent me to have a IQ test to be done so that it would help with a new direction for training to gain employment. After I had finished the tester was surprised at my math answers, I had to show the workings of the math on how I came up with my answer, they were all multiple answer questions. I had started out showing the workings but as normal it just started to look like alpha/numeric soup. So I picked the answer which looked correct I got 80% of them correct by this method. The young man showed me from how I had started as he was able to finishes them showing me that my working theory was wrong even though I had the correct answer. It took time but he talked me through them trying to work out where my problems where, when I told him that it just looked like a jumbled mess no matter how we went at the problem, it stopped flowing down river as if I had hit the rapids in the middle of the river but off to the side was a small smooth flow and my brain jumped onto it in safety. That’s when he told me I had numeric dyslexia it’s not as common as the other forms of dyslexia. I wrote down one of the passages in the test as I see it without making the corrections that Mom taught me to do, and he was stunned. That’s when I told him I was home schooled up to the age of 8 years old by Mom who taught me how to correct my writing to the point that it became second nature to me as long as I was not tired. I was the very few who has double dyslexic who also scored an IQ of 145. He told me if I had been at school in my early years I would have been classified as unteach able but my own Mom blow that there right out of the water. I still cannot do algebra but I have never needed it in all my years in the workforce. The biggest problem with education is that they are trying to teach every child the same thing regardless of the fact that they will never use 60% of what is taught the minute they leave school. School has become a burden to children they have lost the joy of wanting to go to school. In the UK they did the 1st year of secondary school doing all subjects. From that point we than talked about our two most important passions of what we wanted to become when we left school, from that point you only studied the subjects that were needed for your number one and number two choices for what you wanted as a career. Australia and America on the other hand did not go this rout back in the 70’s and 80’s if we had stayed in the UK I would of been on track to work in my chosen field as a apprentice but because I was 15 when my parents had been given the green light to immigrate to Australia I had to go with them by law. When we got to Australia the law stated you had to be 16 to finishes Secondary school and 18 to finish high school. I was forced back into school to re-take my School certificate and my High school certificate. By the time I had finished my school certificate I was already bored of school 4 months into my high school certificate I was angry, I walked out of school and started looking for any apprentership by then, because I had been told I could not go into diesel engineering as it was a male dominated field of work. I got a apprentership as a bookbinder in the end totally left field to my dreams but I loved books so I thought it was good enough. Until that is the chemicals used in the printing industry caused major health risks and by the end of my apprentership I had to leave the industry. That’s where the IQ testing came into the picture to help with placing me into a new line of work of all places in the computer industry. Thankfully by this time mid 80’s the Australians were not as ridged as they had been in 1978 and jobs were finally open to both genders. By this time I could not go into engineering like I had dreamed of because of a motor bike accident which had left me semi disabled back then, that was part of the reason for the IQ testing. Because my Mom took the time and patients to teach me back in those early days I was never left behind like so many other children who suffered from dyslexia she gave me the passion for reading even if I still need a dictionary to read to this day, but she also taught me to never be scared to ask someone to read a word to me when I am not able to see it or understand it until I have heard the word spoken, my new husband laughs but not in that nasty way but in that loving way as he knows of my problem. I am thankful for the young man who was my tester that day all those years ago and understood so much more than any of my maths teachers ever knew. He helped me navigate maths in a way that I was able to finally follow just not algebra but all other maths started to look right for me. I’m thankful to my Mom for playing scrabble at every chance that we were together for helping me to navigate the world of alphabet soup and made it possible to love reading even if I have to re-read a paragraph once in a while so that it makes logical sense to me. And for never giving up on me in those early years that I have seen teacher do time and time again when a student is struggling with their a.b.c’s I am a number one fan of homeschooling because at home you only have those in front of you to focus on and your able to help them get through that most frustrating moment when they are struggling where as in a class of 30 students they would be left and placed to the back of the class and labeled as a difficult and impossible to teach, and that label would follow them all through school and no teacher would ever tack time to find the underlying problem. Even to this day they still mislabel students with dyslexia and never stop to see if this is a problem for them. All schools should have all children that are struggling tested on the IQ test one on one with a qualified tester as they are trained to pick up the issue of dyslexia in people. There are so many different forms of dyslexia out there some cannot even see the written word at all, it just looks like a splatter across the page. I see letters and words backwards same with numbers but at the same time the written lines are doubled up but my glasses are designed to fix that issue it was the first reason I needed glasses when I was young my Dad caught me squinting trying to read just one line lol often that I only had to deal with backward letters and words.

Sorry but kids need guidance and instruction not just self led research as they won't teach themselves maths if they don't like them.

Hi Ara I have to say I do not like the shorts. I much prefer your longer posts, you are very inspirational.

Yes, The Stitchery has a great video where she explains how shorts may increase her subscribers, but they aren't people who watch her longer videos and so don't help in the long run. I will remain a Patreon and am here for any content you put out ❤
