Sunday mornings, my awful mornings! “Daniela, get up it’s time to get ready to go to tutors.” “Oh my god, okay mom, I’m getting up.”…. And every Sunday it would be the same routine and that’s what made me learn how to read and write with her arrogant voice, her loud shouts and putting me down just didn’t want to make me go.
Walking angrily, the sun beaming at me. It is nine a.m. fifteen more minutes and I’ll have to go through all the pressure all over again. “Daniela walk faster, we don’t have much time.” “ Okay, mom gosh.” As I walk up the steps I can already visualize her red puffy hair as big as an exploded can of tomato sauce. Her revolting loud voice that she often used to shout like a huge monster that would often get me frightened.

It was all appreciations to my tutor. I not only learned how to read and write because of her but I also learned how to become brave and learned the real way of studying and even if I fail it couldn’t let me down. It would just make me a stronger individual. No more coming home to tears because the development that I have found in myself made me who I am today.
Reading and writing perhaps be difficult. I as an individual went through many obstacles throughout learning how to read and write. Some of the complications were that I had IEP which is an individualized education program that gives kids the opportunity for extra time on examinations due to their poor reading and writing skills. For example, when I was in the 3rd grade I was taken out of class by another teacher so I can get extra 2-3 hours for me to not get the worried timing. Another challenge I faced was ESL. I didn’t understand English very well due to me starting school late and Russian being my first language. The communication was tough on me because I couldn’t understand much English; I couldn’t read because the letters would confuse me. Therefore, I had passed ESL and IEP with the support of Ms. Nelly. She and I would study specific ESL books that would consist of a spelling word and I would have to match it up with the correct choices. For my accomplishment, I feel very glad that I have overcome this goal
I was born in Vietnam, and moved to the United State when I was ten years old. The biggest obstacle that I have encountered is the ability of reading and writing . I could not speak, read, and write fluently in English like other people. I did not know why it took me so much time to read a few pages when other kids were almost done with a chapter. I did not know why other kids are doing their essays in the span of a few hours, when I needed to spend a couple days to finish my essays. I have spent eight years of my life of working on my English skills and I am not satisfied with the result. This causes me so much frustration. My earliest memory about reading, writing, and speaking in English was very unpleasant for me. In the many years of learning a second language, Mrs. B helped me start to learn a new language, Mrs. Jon helped me to read better, and Mrs. Remsburg showed me the basic progress that the beginning writers should have.
From a young age, I have always been taught to understand the value of education and learning. Reading and writing have been emphasized to me as tools for success, that should always be constantly improved, for as long as I can remember.
Writing has always been my most difficult part of English. Reading, on the other hand, is something I could do all day; however, with writing, I grimace just thinking about it. It was not that I did not have anything to say, because I actually have quite a bit to say. I just could never figure out how to phrase what I had to say in just right way on the page. My mom taught me to read and write at a young age. After that, I would devour any book that I could get my hands on. However, I have had trouble with writing since it became more than just my alphabet and numbers.
For some, reading and writing may come easy, but in my case I have always had difficulties. From my earliest years, the ability to read was never a struggle but having the ability to comprehend what I had read when I was finished has always been a weakness of mine. This made it extremely
I groaned, “ I really, really do not want to got to school, mom.” I fell back against my headboard and sighed. I hate Monday’s. Especially, when you're loud, annoying brother, is going to the same school as you. Also, when your mom is waking you up only thirty
In my earliest years, I can recall one of our projects with my 1st grade teacher. It was very memorable for me, because we went all out for it. The project like most of us in that class remember was to write a story. The story was Flat Stanley. I was mostly ahead of my game in my early years. Then, there came my 5th grade year, The teacher i had in that class always got on me, for not paying attention. I almost got held back that year because i couldn’t focus. That year onward, was a struggle for me.
Growing up in elementary school every day presented a new obstacle that needed to be overcome. Most of the time they were reading and writing challenges, and most of the other students at my grade level didn’t have the difficult time I did.
My first issue is reading because English is not my native tongue. Not being able to understand the language impacted the fundamental basics to learning to read in another language for me. When I started school, I was placed in what was then called, English as a Second Language (ESL), which was a program focused to force learning through
Pamela Quick was my speech teacher in elementary school. Apparently I struggled in every subject especially reading and writing. At a young age, I knew reading or writing didn’t come easy to me and I didn’t understand why. Before I started kindergarten, my parents were told that I had a reading efficiency. So because of that, I was introduced
For many people reading and writing are the most fundamental skills a person can learn, it can also greatly influence a persons cognitive thinking capacity and the sharing of information with others. However, in some parts of the world, people still do not have access to education or the ability to learn to read and write. Lacking the skill to read and write can make things tough for some one in todays society, however with the right resources and mentors to support, one can find a hidden passion for reading and writing. For me, reading and writing has never been one of my greatest skills, I had always struggled throughout my younger years of schooling to keep an interest. As of today, reading and writing has made a great impact on my life, especially in the last few years since I began college.
At a very young age I had a hard time learning how to read and write. We didn't find out why till kindergarten when I took a test and scored positive for having dyslexia. Ever since that day teachers have worked with me to learn and understand english.
Every child learns differently; some learn easily, and some have difficulty processing the information that is given to them. My parents taught me the basics of reading and writing, they bought me books and letter blocks to form words with. In my experience, it was easy for me to learn how to read, although, my struggles began with writing. I can not put the blame on my teachers, although, they weren’t much help either. That was until I entered Middle School, my sixth grade English teacher changed my whole perspective of the subject.
It was no longer just a report card that I was getting; in addition to each grade I receive will be a remembrance of my grandmother whom I so deeply loved. I am determined to not only graduate college, but to graduate with superior grades enough to please her. To this day, it is a constant struggle, like any older adults continuing there are
Reading and writing are two of the most important tools in my life, because without them I would not have an education. They form the basis of a class; for example, completing a lab in chemistry would not be possible without following a written lab procedure. These two skills are taught at such a young age, and as education advances students must continue to strive to reach a higher level. I can remember in elementary school, we were always pushed to reach the next reading level once we had successfully mastered the one we were on. It was always a competition for my sister and I to be at a higher level, I usually won. Even though I was excelling in reading it was the complete opposite for writing. It is something that has never come easy
Learning to read and write, or getting an education in general, is something that is easily handed to us in the world today. Imagine living in a world where you were expected to be uneducated, illiterate, and stupid. In the texts “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie and “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass, these young boys grew up in different worlds where they were looked down upon and were expected to fail due to the standards they grew accustomed to. Although Douglass and Alexie underwent contrasting hardships on their educational journey, they both shared the realization that learning to read and write was both a curse and a blessing. With those shared
