My Love In Literature

Besides learning foreign languages, I also engage in community service as an extra-curricular activity. Participating in community service provides an opportunity to interact with different groups and share ideas that could bring positive change. In this regard, I find the community service experiences as inspiring to my pursuit of becoming a lawyer since such efforts usually boil down to the realization of equality among people and groups from diverse outcomes. Therefore, engaging in extracurricular activities that seek to promote positive change in the society have been crucial towards supporting my lifetime goals besides contributing positively to the underserved cohorts in the U.S.

Not to toot my own horn, but I believe that my greatest strength is leadership. I was the recipient of a leadership scholarship at Chowan University. My senior year of high school, I was captain of the football team. I was a head football coach of a Junior High football team a few years ago. I say this to support my point that I have always been a leader. In my previous job, I took the lead and initiative and completely turned a school that was considered low in technology, to now a highly recognized school of the year. This was done by implementing new software and bringing in more technology such as desktops, laptops, tablets, cameras, etc. I also developed a curriculum for the students, which successfully taught five year olds to type 5-8

Everyone has personal strengths that they utilize on the daily basis. In life we encounter experiences that help us identify our strengths as individuals. In the past, I’ve had several job experiences that tested what I believe to be are my greatest strengths. I believe each of these strengths speak to my character and will provide me with boundless opportunities in the future.

I would consider one of my strengths being a hard worker because no matter which

We all have encountered many obstacles in life, but to look back and comprehend the way I have handled them I can certainly mention two of my strengths. Persistence alongside determination has allowed me to achieve my life goals, projects and have driven me to where I am today. Even though it has seemed beyond the bounds of possibilities, my strong hearted person and ambition has made expand when I am challenged, and this is what I seek in life, to confront and persevere new challenges and grow as a professional and human being.

Biggest strength: Desire and determination to succeed, being resourceful, follow through any assignments or projects, trustworthy and being 100 % committed to service.

In the eyes of students, reading and writing seems to be a whole new world as they approach the semester in college. It seems as if students never worked with writing or reading in their years at high school. Should we consider college a new beginning in the lives of students? Is it a whole new world for them? Did high school really prepared students for college? To the eyes of everyone, education is a must to do in the lives of teenagers, but does it really helped them learned? High school teaches students many different ways of reading and writing but they tend to focus on the strong points that helps them in their learning. In the eyes of students, college expects more of them as freshman 's, but these freshman 's aren 't fully prepared for what college is asking of them, specially in their English classes. As most students know, English class is all about reading and writing, but the way in which they do it is considered below average of what their college class wants. Students are use to type five paragraph essays with a hook sentences, thesis statement, and facts. In college, a five paragraph essay is no longer a five paragraph essay, it turns into a eight to ten paragraph essay requiring more reading, more comprehensive, and academic writing and not to mention the format. In a way the role of high school was to introduce the basics of reading and writing to students and how it will differ from college.

My strengths – supportive, understanding, encouraging, I have the ability to keep pushing forward even when things are not going my way, faith, hard work.

Today I am redeveloping my love for reading thanks to my little siblings, Alex and Faith. If it was not for them I do not think that light would have been relit. As a child I loved reading and it was something I did every day without even thinking about it. However, due to negative experiences in school I lost my love for reading and it was something I grew up resenting. I am so delighted to be redeveloping my love for reading because I forgot just how relaxing it was and how digging into a good book can make you feel as if you are one of the characters in the story.

My greatest strength is my willingness to learn and then teach what I learn to others. I pride myself on being able to help people in this way. I started teaching nearly four years ago as a Sunday school teacher and continue in university as a tutor.

Ever since I was young, reading has allowed me to break away from reality and enter into my own world. It has filled my dull, rainy days with excitement and adventure. I can remember summer nights where I would stay up all night, struggling to fight off sleep, just to finish a good book. Once I was captivated by the book, there was no way I could put it down without finishing it. I have had multiple people and experiences in my life that pushed me closer and closer to reading. Because of these people, my love for reading has only grown over the years, and it has shaped me into the person I am today.

Reading and writing have always been apart of me. From childhood to now. It was just something that my parents instilled in me. I knew how to read basic books and write before I even started pre-school. My parents made it a priority for me to read and write growing up, and the more I read, the fonder I was of it. I will read any type of literature, as long as it peaks my interest. I prefer romance and mysteries, but I try to be diverse when it comes to what I read. I want to make sure I get something out of the books I read, whether or not it is learning something knew about the world or myself, or looking at things in a new way.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved to read. When I was younger, I would grab any children’s book I could find and ask my mom to help me read it over and over again until I was sure that I could do it on my own with perfection. As I got older, the books got harder but I never lost interest. I can’t say the same passion came for writing though. I’ve struggled with writing ever since I first started writing essays and paragraphs in 4th grade.

Reading and writing are two of the first things we learn when were in a school and that when I realized that I and reading/writing have a long relationship. I remember my mother walking me to my class and me not knowing that I would be walking out with knowledge to read and write. My Preschool teacher named was Ms. Newman and she was a very artistic teacher and would often express herself through her clothes, she would have different colorful words on her walls that each letter in the alphabet had a picture to represent it. She would wear different color sweaters that would have a bunch words on them and she would tell a bunch of short stories and it really had me excited to read. I instantly wanted to read anything I put my hand on! Often, I would read the cartoons, comics in the newspaper every Sunday and I felt so smart reading it.In class, We would spilt into groups and talk about how we felt about the story, Ms. Newman would have read to us. As the year progressed, we would cut out letters, magazines, and newspapers etc. and put them in our journal. This is how my love for reading and writing all begin.

- I identify with my ability to keep my commitments - stick to your programs!
