My Comprehensive Learning Disabilities

My Comprehensive Learning Disabilities! Began as child with always failing standardized test because I didn't learn like my fellow classmates did I couldn't comprehend anything or retain anything either I learned that I had a comprehensive learning disability, however, never was I placed in mentally challenged classes I had a hard time barely passing my classes all throughout my school years and even in college I learned that I had to use all three psychological learning types auditory having to hear and listen to whatever is being taught to me visual having to see whatever is being taught to me kinesthetic having to actually write, do, mess up and be corrected or realize I was wrong and correct myself I had and still have to do all three, in order to comprehend anything that I learned from reading books, being taught in classrooms at home, on the jobsite, on two United States Of America's Navy ships, boot camp, college, love, relationships, churches and everywhere else as well as a child and even an adolescent I taught myself to overcome it becoming an adult I did all three of these whenever I wanted truly to learn something I wrote down questions for tests on notecards read the questions and answers to myself and had three other people read them to me for several hours my comprehensive disability then and even now we're surfaced, literal, occasionally figurative and metaphorical as a thirty-three year old man, now it seems that memory, and my problems have worsened as well because I every time I read something nowadays I cannot seem to recall it or even comprehend it either!
