    Beginning from grade school through middle and high school, we learn how to read and write as we grow. More importantly, we learn how to grab and hold onto many things; the illusions that we aim to achieve, called dreams.

Independence as your hope, in all experiences that you’ll be able to make something towards your future.…

    I completely agree with all of your statements and how we can give children knowledge to be healthy and active. Unfortunately, children are being denied their physical activity time. This could be due to being disruptive in the classroom or homework is not completed, so the children are punished and their recess time is taken away from them. In the book, “The Read-Aloud Handbook”, by Jim Trelease, he discusses not only the benefits of reading aloud to children, but the difference that Finland has with the United States. In the book, Trelease states, “…there are fifteen minutes of recess for every forty-five minute class…”…

    The Struggles I Faced on my Journey to Literacy At a young age my journey to literacy began.

    Literacy has always been an important part of my life, but in my early years, reading and writing was a tremendous challenge for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, I’m reminded of a variety of things, moments like going camping or riding a bicycle. But most importantly, being the oldest one and having to set an example for my sisters. It’s what I had to do since I was the oldest.
