I agree with Lidsky on this quote to some extent, because it is true that shaping your reality comes with great responsibility. The choices that lead to a good reality are up to you. However, we are not the lone creators of our reality; we do play the biggest role in its creation, but we depend on many other factors including other people. These people can influence your reality greatly. Lidsky said that once he knew he was going to be blind, his independence would be shattered. There is nothing
what is coming up or what is going through. You don’t know what’s next, but you do have choices, plans and Images of your future. My first experience with reading and writing started when I chose to attend an out siding high school in other city. It was a school for top students, and it was my source to learn about writing, actually it was my beginning to have an intensive courses in English. Joining this school was my start point with the English and the writing. It was also my start point to be
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
There are many different approaches to learning that I will incorporate in my teaching philosophy. I see myself as an Idealist in that I believe that each child is of very much value and I have the responsibility to be a positive role model in the classroom. Also, as within the framework of Idealism, I will encourage my students to challenge themselves as learners. I also see myself using some Pragmatic approaches in emphasizing the three R’s in elementary school. I
a totally different cultural background. Ir was frustrating and bothering beyond belief that learn wasn't coming to me as efficiently or smoothly as other students by grade level. Reading Comprehension, writing and speaking were always my core struggles in primary school, while other students had mastered reading their first chapter books I had yet to have mastered a simple picture book. While I struggled to understand simple history facts others had know it by heart since their parents were well
was so nervous that my first piece of writing seemed less than mediocre as I reflected on what I had written that day. While being happy that my name was randomly chosen to be added to the class, I was very scared of this class. The last time I wrote an essay was two years ago, and before this class I had forgotten how to write one. I believe good writing requires lots of practice, and I have not practiced my writing for a long time. In addition, my reading was not even up to par since I only read
two adoptive brothers (on my step fathers side). The place I called home was not just a single house but in fact involved two both with separate families and rules. Each neighborhood of the homes, were unique and required a few adjustments. Thus shaping me in becoming an independent, above average and passionate person. Independence is a hard trait to come by in my family; many of my siblings want to continue living off of our parents meeting their every need. Being raised in a large family I realized
Every day people use writing to express certain ideas and thoughts we may have and by doing so it shapes the lives people lead by so much. The constant use of writing has allowed people to share and have unique experiences that have shaped who they are as writers. My own personal experiences with reading and writing have allowed me to improve my writing style. The mistakes I have made have only made me a better writer because I was able to learn about the mistakes I had made and make sure that they
regret in high school was not reading enough books. Due to my passion for math and science, reading has always been secondary to me. For most of high school, I never read much more than what was required of me. It was easy for me to dismiss everything that was not directly relevant to my ideal career path. However, now that I understand and appreciate the purpose of reading, I regret my neglect of it. Although I have not always recognized the importance of reading, reading has largely affected the way
I had always considered myself a writer. I had always found comfort in identifying with the title of writer. I had the cliché I was born a writer stories to back up this self-given idealistic position. I was drawing full-length picture books at the age of three, before I even knew how to string together a coherent sentence in the written word. By five, I had no trouble whipping out a thrilling (maybe for a kindergartener) story that I begged my grandma to type up for me, considering I was not yet
