What is literacy to you? To me, literacy is how one reads and writes.
Who’s one of your SoL? One of my sponsors of Literacy would have to be my 12th grade Comp I & II teacher.
On the very first day of my senior year, I remember walking into my Comp I class and taking a seat. My teacher was not present at that very moment, but I gracefully stared around the room to take everything in. Many different posters, items, and so many words overfilled the classroom. The first thing my teacher assigned was to write on a piece of paper any word that comes to mind in one minute. In my head, I was like this shouldn’t be hard. As I began to think, so many words were coming and going, I did not even know where to begin. I started to write random words that came to my brain. The timer went off, and we went around the room to say our words. Every single person had something different. It was crazy to think that there really are so many words and everyone is thinking of something different. I soon came to realize that we all come from different homes, cultures, and we have all grown up to learn and acquire different things. Mr. Freeny over the year, made me come to realize that everyone has different sponsors of literacy. He was mine and he taught me so many things to improve my writing in just one short year.
