“Hi my name is Shreyan Sunkari. I am currently a senior at John Randolph Tucker in Richmond, Virginia. I found I had dyslexia when I was in 6th grade and experienced my fair share of struggles. I created Eulexic given that I knew that I was not the only one that was facing challenges that dyslexia had thrown at me. In my progression to achieving higher levels of reading comprehension I give a lot of credit to my mom. She sat with me almost everyday and acted as a mentor to help me achieve each win and push through the tough roadblocks. Over time, I learned how to overcome persistent challenges as well as embrace my identity. This brings me to my second reason for creating Eulexic. There is a common misconception that dyslexia is some kind of disease or disability. However, this is not true at all. In fact I often give credit to dyslexia for my various feats because of the creativity and analytical thinking it instilled in me. I want people with dyslexia to be proud of who they are and realize the potential they can contribute to this world of endless opportunities.”
