Gradually over the years, I learned the importance of building my literacy skills. Each year I progressed, but for some reason, I never felt like I was advanced. I believe my most significant challenge was reading because I always misunderstood the meaning of the composition. Writing was a challenge as well, and I had issues forming sentences and portraying my creativity through words. I learned that literacy is a principal factor in everyone's life, especially mine.

even literature. In the literacy works of Everyman, Dante’s Inferno, and in the Canterbury Tales, we see authors and poets discuss and incorporate sin and sinful actions in their works. In the tale of Everyman, we read of a man living a sinful life. In the beginning, Everyman is approached by Death with a message from God, that his day of judgment is upon him. Everyman must undertake a pilgrimage and stand before God for judgment. Everyman pleads to delay his journey however, Death does not show

practice ! My earliest memory of writing was when I was between five and six years old. I do not remember every detail, but I can recall bits and pieces. For example, my mom used to put her hand over mine to show me how to grasp a pencil. Looking back now, holding the pencil felt like using chop sticks in a Chinese restaurant for the first time. If you’ve ever used chop sticks before, you know they are not friendly . I’ve tried using them so many times, but they always slip from my fingers. That’s

Driving down the main route, within the Mata Khan district of Paktika province, during a routine mission with Afghan National Army troops, my thirty-ton mine-resistant vehicle struck a bomb that was comprised of 120 pounds of homemade explosives. The blast forced the vehicle ten feet into the air, physically splitting it in half. After being medically evacuated to a combat theater hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan, it was discovered that my injuries consisted
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, written by Douglass, himself, is a memoir complete with the grueling details of his enslavement and his journey to freedom. Without literacy, Douglass would have never liberated himself to become a free man. Through Sophia Auld, reading The Columbian Orator, and copying little Master Thomas’s school books, Frederick Douglass empowered himself to escape from the wretched bonds of slavery. Sophia Auld was the premier literary influence in Douglass’s

I’m striving to be straightforward and introspective, and I figure you’ll appreciate the critical thinking behind the process.

Literacy Essay I was eight years old in the third grade when I realized that English was not my best subject. I struggled with spelling word tests, reading out loud, and writing. I believe because I never performed well in English, the subject never caught my attention. As years past in school, my classmates and teachers helped me understand how important English is and why I should challenge myself to improve my overall understanding of the subject.

expectation of others is the way forward. My parents, simple and honest human beings, have high expectations of me wishing that I too, like them, grew up to be an honorable person. Martin Luther King’s life inspires the determined and I agree that to give up on life or stop is deplorable. Irrespective of the hurdles, to push ahead with all one’s might is the only way to succeed. Living this philosophy, my father, a genuine rags to riches story, altered my life, leading by example and encouraging me
