  • Personal Narrative: My Journey to Literacy

    1143 Words  | 3 Pages

    All I could remember on my journey to literacy was my concern over my brother and sister’s ability to read and write including solving math problems. That did not really motivate not to become literate; I was extremely playful as a child. What I am able to remember is my first day of school, I cried like a baby when my mom dropped me off. I soon began to grow out of my baby stage and school became really interesting. Even though it was not as hard as it is now, the value that pushed me to be literate was how my teacher was able to discipline students if they didn’t give the best to their education.

    I used to have to take these tests about all the books I would read in school and I would always ace them all. I knew that reading was something I liked because I was always very intrigued by it. Also in middle school I found my true writing voice. I remember taking a creative writing class in six grade and I was always the student who wrote more than what was expected for my writing assignments. I would write stories about things such as my friends and the experiences that I had in school. Sometimes I would even write my own plays and in my plays the characters would be people in family and people from school. I would always try to make the plot super interesting in my plays. One time I wrote a play about my brothers and me traveling to space and finding aliens. Overall, I really fell in love with literacy throughout my middle school years because I was able to read books more at an advance level and I also was able to write more intense stories. Literacy has been a positive influence in my life all throughout my school

  • Dyslexia: Struggling, Surviving and Excelling in School

    1074 Words  | 3 Pages

    My literacy experience more than likely differs from my peers greatly, in the first grade I was diagnosed with dyslexia. From that point going forward I was not confident at all in my reading and writing ability. My parents spent very little time working with me to better my learning disabilities. I struggled with writing and reading all throughout grade school; I felt as if I was falling behind and would never catch up. I developed a lazy mentality with reading because I never felt as if I would excel because I was always wrong. I am thankful that against my risk factors of failing I also had protective factors such as sports. In school the only thing I felt like I excelled at in school was athletics; I bonded with my gym teachers and coaches more than I did with any other teacher throughout my school years.

I also have problems with my word choice. Of course, I want my paper to consist of intelligent vocabulary; but I often use words that just do not make sense in the context. Despite my weaknesses I have very many strengths that somewhat balance out my flaws. I have such a creative mind when it comes to writing because I perceive situations in so many different ways. This opens up my choices of exactly how I want to write my paper.
