1) Why do you think people make fun of others for learning differently? Have you ever seen or experienced this? 2) The article states that problems can "make you strong." Do you agree? 3) Michael Phelps improved in reading and math when the subjects connected to his passion (sports). What is a subject or topic you are passionate about? 4) Each person in the article had a crucial supporter: a parent, a teacher, a mentor. Why is having at least one supportive person so important when facing a challenge? Who is that person for you, or for someone you know? 5) Keira Knightley and Michael Phelps both mention having to work harder than others to achieve their goals. Does "success" mean more when you have to struggle for it? Why or why not? 6) Richard Branson’s teacher thought he was "lazy," and Keira Knightley was called "stupid." What is the danger of this for students? 7) Imagine you are a teacher. A student in your class is struggling to focus or read, and other students are starting to bully them. What are two things you could do to help both the struggling student and the class environment? 8) Do you think schools and society today understand learning disorders better? 9) The final line says, "you never know where your differences could lead." How can what makes someone different (a unique way of thinking, a passion, a challenge they overcome) actually shape their future in a positive and unexpected way? 10) If you could give one piece of advice to a younger student who just found out they have a learning disorder and feels discouraged, what would it be, based on what you read in these stories?
