“Breaking the Label” is an autobiographical self-help book by
Paul Geise, who shares his personal journey of overcoming self-doubt and
academic challenges due to a learning disability. The book is intended to
inspire and motivate students who feel inadequate in their abilities to
learn, and to provide practical advice and strategies that have helped the
author and others like him succeed academically.
Geise shares his experiences growing up in Metro Detroit, Michigan, and
feeling frustrated and defeated in his early years of education. He
discusses the challenges he faced due to his learning disability, including
being told that he would never be able to keep up with his classmates and
pursuing an academically-based career was out of the question for him.
However, he refused to give up and found ways to work around his disability
and develop his strengths.
The author shares practical advice on finding one’s strengths and learning
style, developing effective study habits and techniques, and utilizing
resources and support systems that can be helpful for students with learning
disabilities. Geise provides examples of his experiences working with
teacher consultants in each primary subject and the instructor’s teaching
methods, as well as what he did to help himself work through these
issues.
After graduating from high school, Geise still felt inadequate in his
educational abilities and had to convince himself that he was not helpless.
He went on to complete his Associate Degree and numerous other technical
certifications without the help of a teacher consultant. He now understands
the importance of taking control of his education and the learning curve
that comes with it.
Overall, “Breaking the Label” is an inspiring and practical guide
for students who feel like they are not good enough, especially those with
learning disabilities, to overcome academic challenges and achieve their
dreams.
