What literacy means to me is that I had to go a long way to get to the point where I’m at today as a college student. I had a hard time as a child on learning how to read and write and speak efficiently. Literacy played a huge role in my education journey because I had great teachers and tutors that helped me improve in literacy. I still have trouble being creative in my writing but my detail has improved over the years. I actually enjoy writing because I want to be a sports analyst. One of my sponsors of literacy is my dad because he told me if I pass all three of my state tests, I would get a new truck. I ended up passing all three of my state tests and I got the new truck. My junior year of high school, Paul my English tutor showed up to my house and we worked on the English 2 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). I had to work countless hours to reach my goal by reading and practicing passages and writing essays at a scale of 6. I had a tough time learning in my English class my sophomore year because my teacher did not teach the curriculum. Paul and I agreed on all the strategies he taught me for reading and writing. Going into the spring of my junior year I was ready to retake the STARR test. I passed all my state tests and got the new truck I that I wanted, a 2019 GMC Sierra.
