When I was little I had a hard time reading. My mom realized it, so my mom took me to the doctor and I was diagnosed with dyslexia. My mom decided to read me disney books. I remembered words from listening to my mom read me stories. Also I would watch disney movies. I then found out I had anxiety. I always wanted to go to Disneyland but my mom did not know how I would be with my anxiety.

My mom took me to Disneyland for the first time when I was 6 years old. When we arrived at Disneyland I was so excited because I knew all the disney books and movies. I remember walking through the disney gates was so magical and then I saw the castle and I saw my favorite characters that I knew from the stories and movies. I felt like I really belonged there. My mom made a promise to me that every year I would go back to Disneyland.

I was so happy. When I got older my anxiety grew. I thought I would never go back because of my anxiety. But, I did go back. What was truly magical is that for some reason seeing the characters helped my anxiety. So, the truth is that Disney helped me. I still go to Disneyland. I still have anxiety but seeing the characters makes it better.

Thank you Disney for all the books and movies. Because of this, I became an author and that is truly magical.
