News on the Finalists prize: (Vote here, please: mhguysearch/entry/720) After receiving clarity on the issue, there is no actual prize money in the contest. Each of the 3 Finalists will receive the equivalent of $3,500.00 to travel to NYC (hotel, airfare, etc) to participate in the televised showdown. So, since I have already given my word, by helping me make it into the Finalist round, I will write a personal check for $3,500.00 to DyslexicAdvantage. Entering the Finalist round will be sufficient exposure to our message to help stop bullyism, bigotry and ignorance regarding the alternative learning styles currently prejudiced with the bucket-term dyslexia. It can be horrifically life-altering to be thrown into this education wastebasket, as I was when I was institutionalized in a childrens psychiatric hospital for being unteachable. It took me decades to unpack my experience and create hacks for excelling at my own unique learning styles, and making a positive impact upon my industry. (Watch my story here in my TEDx Talk: youtube/watch?v=bxkBqFbbAP0) Help by voting for me daily and put a dyslexic athlete not the cover of Mens Health, so we can reach the 60 million kids in USA alone who face the hardships of the labels of learning disabilities. THANK YOU!
