Otis Opens Up About His Struggle With Dyslexia, Finishes His First Book Front To Back

Otis accomplishes a big goal. 

Otis took to Instagram to reveal that he finished Pet Sematary, marking the first book he’s read front to back. Otis has had Bad Reading Dyslexia since Elementary School and WWE had approached him a year and a half ago about getting into a reading class.

Otis thanked his teacher Kimmy for helping him and explained how the book was different from the movie, which scared him as a kid. 

From Otis

Feelin’ Cool and Excited to finish my FIRST EVER Book From Front to Back 

PET SEMATARY 

About a Year and half ago @wwe Approached me to get into Reading Class 

My Family and Friends know but here on the Social I’m here to tell you guys 

I’ve always had Bad Reading Dyslexia since I was in Elementary School 
My pronouncing is Alright but my Comprehension has always been Juicy for me 

I’m embarrassed about it at times but Really can’t do much about it besides do what we all do 

JUST GET THROUGH IT Day By Day 

When Kimberly Swedberg became My Teacher she asked me what stories I’m into 

I of course said “Anything Horror” 

But I mentioned one Movie that scared the Sh#t out of me as a kid and still gets me 

Which is Stephen King’s PET SEMATARY 

Kimmy goes “I’ll see what I can do” 

I’ve been hearin’ for years from many how much Better the books are than the movies — 

Didn’t believe it til now 

The 2 characters that scared me in the story was Timmy Baterman and Zelda 

After reading this book, they seemed 10 times more evil and scary 
GOOD LORD! 

The Story itself had like 5 things that go into great detail that the Awesome Movie Didin’t have that made you love and invest in the Characters even more 

To me this Story was always so damn terrifying, depressing, and emotional 

Pulls at your Heart strings and makes you go WHAT THE HELL 

THANK YOU @wwe 

THANK YOU “KIMMY” Kim Swedberg for being the Best instructor and teacher 

Especially your patience with me hahahaha 

Onto the Next One….. 

THE SHINING —
