When Caragan Olles was in the third grade, she was diagnosed with the reading condition, dyslexia. That explained her difficulty in learning but it didn’t stop the insults and humiliation she experienced, so when she was 10, she and her big brother started a nonprofit that helps dyslexic kids get tutoring and trains teachers and family members in understanding what the kids are going through. Now a teen, Caragan has raised hundreds of thousand of dollars to help dyslexic kids and coached thousands of people who now understand the condition.
