Maya Hawk On Her Problems With Reading And Writing Skills

22-year-old Maya Hawke is rightfully called a rising star in Hollywood. The girl works hard on herself and quickly goes to her goals

The girl is the daughter of star parents: actresses Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. Maya played one of the main roles in the TV series "Stranger Things", and also got a role in the acclaimed film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." More recently, the aspiring actress tried herself in the role of a singer. She released her first album, which became very successful. Apparently, Maya is not going to stop there.

In her last interview, the aspiring star said that in fact it is very difficult for her to achieve everything in life, because she has a big drawback. Dyslexia haunts the girl all her life. This disease means that a person has some difficulty understanding how to read and write correctly. By the way, this is a very common disease that many celebrities have, for example, Tom Cruise and Keira Knightley. Maya notes that it became much easier for her to relate to her defect after she changed her attitude towards the disease. Now she considers dyslexia to be her feature, but not a disadvantage.

“I cannot say that I suffer from this. But I can say with confidence that this is a huge gift for several reasons. I will immediately answer a frequently asked question: yes, I attended a specialized school for children with disabilities” - the actress admits.

“During my school years, I developed worse than my peers and it took me much longer to learn at least to read. At the same time, I am still limited in some points due to dyslexia. But the most wonderful thing in this modern world is that people like me, with disabilities, have so many options for help. My problem made me read and write a lot, I really fell in love with this business, and now I see how I grow and develop every day. "

Maya also said that due to the fact that she attended a school for children with disabilities, she had a very hard time as a child. Peers mocked her and tried to humiliate her, so Hawke considers himself a victim of bullying. However, she managed not to break down at the expense of her parents. They always supported the girl, encouraged her efforts and successes, and also told her every day how special she was, instilling hope for a bright future.
