“In November of 2018, I started training one on one with my trainer at the McLean, Virginia office. Originally, I started brain training because of low reading comprehension and retention. I'm a teacher by trade and this weakness had caused me to question whether I should remain in teaching. In June 2019, I ended my training with many new skills. 1. I can read a text and understand what it says in both fiction and nonfiction. 2. I participate readily in meetings at work. 3. My empathy for kids and adults has grown leaps and bounds toward people with disabilities. 4. Relationships have become easier in that I'm often able to stick up for myself when previously, it was difficult. 5. I've started incorporating what I've learned at Learning Rx in my classes. 6. I have a renewed mindset to not shrink back from trying new things. I've picked up several hobbies, when before it was only 'work work work!' 7. Lastly, my anxiety level has decreased. Before, I was anxious just thinking about class, school, and work. Now, the anxiety doesn't take me down anymore. In June, I was sad to end the training, but I know now I'm enjoying life, instead of hiding from it. If you are thinking that you are too old, you are not. I encourage you to just do it!”
