    I can also recall watching “Wheel a Fortune” at night with my grandmother. This also helped to reinforce the concepts of reading and writing, which encouraged me to learn how to read and write.

I am now able to independently follow and read instructions in written form, think logically about the personal problem-solving process, and respond to varies forms of communication.…

    To me, writing has always been busy work and something that teachers only used to create grades. My writing experience in high school was very limited to one category in: practice AP essays. The writing I did in class was always preparing for AP exams and was very fact based. Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected because I didn’t want that to affect my score.…
