Landmark graduates celebrate victory over dyslexia

By Martina Brendel
Staff writer

For the average high school student, obtaining a high school diploma is a cause for celebration.

For a student with dyslexia, it's like winning the Super Bowl.

Which is why it was more than fitting that the keynote address at Landmark School's graduation was given by Rodney Harrison, defensive captain for the three-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

Graduating from high school is simply the first of many challenges they will face, Harrison told the 85 graduates of Landmark, a private school for students with language-based learning disabilities. Success, he said, comes only through hard work and a positive attitude.

More is available for paid subscribers - but it seems to imply that Rodney had to overcome dyslexia - something that I had never heard before.

Although I see that as possible, reading this, I certainly don't think it's a foregone conclusion. If so I hope it doesn't piss him off when he hears the phrase "read and react."

Tried to get to the bottom of it... I did find that Rodney has other dimensions we just have never heard about:

I seriously doubt that has anything to do with the Rodney we know. There are multiple Rodney Harrison's in the world.

And last time I checked, Rodney does not live in Australia.

From what you quoted, I don't think it says Rodney had to overcome dyslexia. It seems they are making a comparison for the joy felt from winning the Super Bowl and these kids graduating.

Rodney has had no problen reading what the offense are doing. The ones who have trouble reading are the ones that he hits. They just can't seem to focus their eyes after that.:rocker:
