I was first introduced to Scientology in 1995 by my dad, who had just completed a course about study at the Church of Scientology in Birmingham. This alerted me to the countless numbers of words that I had learnt at school (or rather I was supposed to have learned) but did not actually know the meanings of. My dad showed me how to use a dictionary properly and now I find I understand far more clearly the subjects that I am being taught at college. This really is fundamental but I don't know of many people who actually do this. It really is surprising how one's understanding of the subject matter is increased. Many of my friends have unfortunately had to leave college early because they could not keep up with the work. It really is a great shame because it was all down to them not using the dictionary. It's as simple as that.
