I home schooled our three children from 1990-2010. The first one quickly picked up on all things academic. The second one took longer to learn things, but then she seemed to grasp several concepts at once. The third one was dyslexic, but I didn't find that out until she was 13. I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to help her learn, but didn't get very far until a professional was able to help her out. Yes, we all learn differently, and on differing timelines. I look back on my own elementary school years in the 1960s, and think about the kids who never seemed to catch on to anything, and wonder what their learning disabilities were. Nobody knew about those things, back then. I'm glad you finally figured out your own strengths and your learning style.
