As a parent, you want to see them thrive, especially when they face the unique challenges of Dyslexia. The first day of school can be an essential moment to prepare them thoughtfully. You can transform this transition into a confident stride rather than a hesitant step.

Iconic Quotes: Noah Lyles and Simone Biles

Noah Lyes is an American professional track and field sprinter. He shook the world with his tweet celebrating his uniqueness and stating with so much confidence: “does not define what you can become. Why Not You!”

What are his accomplishments?

  • He is a one-time Olympic champion and six-time world champion.

  • The first American to win gold in the men's 100-meter sprint since 2004.

A throwback to 2016 when the iconic Simone Biles stood up and showed the importance of being oneself. No stigma for ADHD. There is no doubt that there is no limit, and your differences can be the little secret push which helps you succeed.

We hope you enjoyed the Olympics, and got inspired in our weekly series🥇.
