"Everyone is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life thinking that it’s stupid.”

Lynda Mullaly Hunt

This perfectly reflects Ally's life because due to her dyslexia reading has always been a struggle for her. People talk down to her and she feels insecure due to the fact that she has a hard time reading. Despite this, she is very good at math and can do complicated calculations without batting an eye. While being good at one thing and having trouble with another subject has been a cause of unhappiness in her life, this quote she heads by Albert Einstein lets her know that even though she feels like she is stupid for not being able to read, she is good at other things and that she is just as good as everyone else.
