Katie Willsey offers a touching account of how she, as a dyslexic person, experiences her world. Kaite Willsey moved to Lakeway, Texas two and a half years ago and became very involved in school spirit days, the school's musical production, volunteering, and competitive swimming. In the 9th-grade, Katie was diagnosed with a serious concussion setting her back in both her education and her swimming. As a result, Katie decided to move her passion to participating in the Speech and Debate Team and the TED-Ed Club, giving her the opportunity to work on her presentation and speech writing skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
