It was especially difficult during this time as I began to possess a leadership role in many of the extracurricular activities I was apart of such as band and in my UIL events as the upper classmen I had known and who held some of those responsibilities were suddenly gone. This reality was immensely crushing losing those I had …show more content…

Throughout this timeline my confidence increase as I felt somewhat successful because my teams and sections were starting to understand as I took no approaches and grew into the prominent leader position my mentor helped groom me for. This became a practical means of learning to being more literate. It was repetitive some days as I failed to come up with a way for them to retain the knowledge I gave them the previous day making progress slow the first year I truly explored this role and took to some of the advice my mentor continued to feed me.

    Writing is a form of communication that has changed over the years, whether that is the way it is used or the meaning it has for some people. In the generation that I grew up in, writing has been around in many different ways, such as texting or instant messaging friends. I remember using Facebook at an early age and communicating with my friends and family through a different form of writing. Compared to my elders, the way they were taught and the way they used their writing has changed immensely. Since I grew up in a newer generation than them, my writing experience has been partially different in a good way. My literacy narrative will reflect that difference.

    Growing up in working class family, my mom worked all the time for the living of a big family with five kids, and my dad was in re-education camp because of his association with U.S. government before 1975. My grandma was my primary guardian. “Go to study, go to read your books, read anything you like to read if you want to have a better life,” my grandma kept bouncing that phrase in my childhood. It becomes the sole rule for me to have better future. I become curious and wonder what the inside of reading and write can make my life difference. In my old days, there was no computer, no laptop, no phone…etc, to play or to spend time with, other than books. I had no other choice than read, and read and tended to dig deep in science books, math books, and chemistry books. I tended to interest in how the problem was solved. I even used my saving money to buy my own math books to read more problems and how to solve the problem. I remembered that I ended up reading the same math book as my seventh grade teacher. She used to throw the challenge questions on every quiz to pick out the brighter student. There was few students know how to solve those challenge questions. I was the one who fortunately nailed it every single time. My passion and my logic for reading and writing came to me through that experience, and also through my grandma and my mom who plant the seed in me, who want their kids to have happy and better life than they were. In my own dictionary, literacy is not just the ability to read and write, it is a strong foundation to build up the knowledge to have better life, to become who I am today.

    Prior to this course, I was blessed with the opportunity to pursue a better understanding of the importance of incorporating literacy into all content areas. Being a math teacher, I was very reluctant about the topic. When I noticed this class in my required courses list, I was really wondering how can i teach reaching in my math classes. I knew that the only time my students really read is while completing certain word problems or taking notes; however, what I quickly learned was that my interpretation of reading or literacy, was sadly mistaken. What those professional development opportunities taught me, and what the course reading has reiterated is reading or literacy not only deals with reading words, but also correlates with analyzing, interpreting, and comprehending graphs and charts (Richardson, Morgan & Fleener, 2012). In the topic of mathematics, we encounter such materials on a daily basis, and just as Richardson, Morgan and Fleener (2012) stated, the math language and text are a completely unique style of language that must be taught.
